Improvement of the spectral sensitivity of CPV by enhancing luminescence coupling and fine-tuning to the bottom-bandgap matched to local atmospheric conditions

Measurement and Modeling of 3D Solar Irradiance for Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaic

“…The model, as mentioned above, was expanded to the design of the future high-efficiency solar cell for VIPV application in the worst-case combination of atmospheric parameters [35] and realistic atmospheric parameters and measured spectrum [36]. The atmospheric parameters that impact performance of high-efficiency solar cells are identified using a statistical approach [37] and also to concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) [38] that is recently considered as a right candidate [39], fine-tuning of the bandgap design for VIPV application based-on the model as mentioned above [40], prediction of the energy yield with consideration of the spectrum and angular issues [41], and the rating method of the VIPV with consideration of above issues [42]. The detailed information of the high-efficiency PV modules used for the validation of the model is found in the article by Ota [43].…”

“…The angular distribution model is crucial both to the validation of the 3-D solar irradiance model around the car-body and optimization design of the high-performance static concentrator module on the car-roof [28][29][30][31][32][33]. In case that the high-efficiency multi-junction cells are used for VIPV, it is essential to consider the spectrum impact, correctly, the cross effect between spectrum and angular distribution of the solar irradiance [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. The angular distribution model is also useful for this purpose.…”
