The purpose of this paper is to highlight that a detailed electrical and optical characterization is a basic step to improve the design of a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) module and enhance its overall performance. The complete characterization of the preliminary CPV module prototype, designed according the state of art, has been carried out revealing lower performances than expected. The reasons of the energy losses have been determined by an accurate optical and electrical analysis. The results of these tests permitted to introduce upgrades into the design of a second version of the CPV module in order to overcome the main defects previously identified. The full characterization of this new version revealed significantly higher performances. Overall, the obtained outcomes demonstrate the benefits of an accurate characterization, allowing both the identification of the system problems design and the evaluation of the effects of the adopted solutions

In this study, the characterization of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) system based on a Cassegraintype optic is presented. The indoor and outdoor electrical parameters have been measured and analyzed. On the basis of the IEC 60891 standard, the acquired I-V characteristics have been reported under the CSTC defined in the CEI 82-25 and the electrical parameters deviations have been determined. The correlations among temperature, direct normal irradiance (DNI) and power have been discussed. The results of the absolute power test based on the ASTM E2527 standard and the values of power deviation are reported. Finally the rating power comparison between the two standard test procedures is performed
