Reflective secondary optical elements for fresnel lens based concentrator modules

Abstract: This paper reports on the development of secondary optics for concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules. It focuses on reflective secondary optics designed for high concentration modules using fresnel lenses as the primary concentrating optics. The development of the secondary optics was guided by the idea of designing an optical element suitable for cost effective mass production. The primary concentrating optics of a CPV module can direct only a limited part of the solar aureole (the immediate surroundings of … Show more

“…In this study, to avoid the difficulty of fabricating an accurate miniature Fresnel lens, a non‐Fresnel type 4 × 4 lens array made of a PMMA resin was used as the primary optical element (POE), with a reflective secondary optical element (SOE) used to give the module a large acceptance angle . Although a lens without an air gap between the lens and the cell would have had less optical loss, we purposely separated the lens from the glass substrate with an air gap to facilitate access to and maintenance of the SOE and 3 J cells.…”

“…This concept of using concentrating optics to concentrate light onto small high-efficiency multijunction solar cell in the terrestrial application was on the rise with a great deal of research being done in this area [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The basic idea of this concept is simple.…”
