“…The structure is given in Fig. 23, and its working principle is presented as follows: [54] The vertically incident ray 7 passes through the upper surface 5 and is refracted in the micro-concentrating unit, after that, concentrated in the bottom of the PV cell 8 by AR coating 3, then it can generate electricity and heat. As the light passes through into the bottom of the micro-concentrating unit, it will be partially reflected, not conducive to PV cell 8 reception, therefore, an AR coating 3 is placed between the PV cell 8 and the glass curtain wall, that can increase the amount of ray to make it be received by PV cell 8, thereby the generation efficiency of PV cell 8 can be improved.…”

The need for energy sources in the world is gradually increasing day by day. Photovoltaics (PVs) usage has worldwidely spread thanks to the efficiency and reliability increase and price decrease of solar panels. The photovoltaic (PV) glazing technique is a preferred method in modern architecture because of its aesthetic properties besides electricity generation. Traditional PV glazing systems are mostly produced from crystalline silicon solar cells (c-SiPVs). The development of low-cost PV cells for the production of costeffective and energy-saving glass systems has been of great interest. Solar control glass which is one of the crucial components of PV panels is largely employed for architectural and automotive windows to lower the sunlight and heat inlet for the comfort. Hereby a general overview of solar glass panels is presented.

“…To figure out the irradiance distribution of the concentrator, both theoretical and experimental methods can be used. Theoretically, ray tracing simulation is conducted based on Monte Carlo Ray Tracing method either by programming [3] [4] [5] or using software such as LightTools [6], Zemax [7], Tonatiuh [8] and TracePro [9]. However, ray tracing simulation is somewhat ideal and does not coincide with practical setup where manufacture and installation errors are inevitable.…”

In this work, an irradiance distribution measuring method based on a photodiode array was proposed to measure the irradiance distribution of truncated compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs). Firstly, truncated CPCs were designed and 3-D printed. Then twelve photodiodes were soldered on a printed circuit board to measure the irradiance distribution of CPCs. Besides, a box was manufactured to support the board and CPCs. Irradiance distribution of CPCs was measured under the illumination of Oriel AAA class solar simulator. Corresponding non-uniform factors of irradiance profiles of CPCs were evaluated based on the concept of standard deviation. Experimental results were compared with simulated irradiance profiles of CPCs. A maximum relative error of 13.1% was found between experimental and theoretical results, which verified the feasibility of the proposed photodiode array based irradiance distribution measuring method.
