“…The maximum power point of a solar cell and therefore of a CPV module depends on the DNI levels. However so, other parameters such as air temperature or cell temperature may play an important role in the I–V curves . Figures and display maximum power versus DNI for manufacturers A and B, classified by temperatures.…”

“…Despite this, it could be considered as constant to a first approximation for the DNI of our study. The decreased efficiency of solar modules at high radiation levels may have different origins: series resistance losses of the MJ solar cell at higher irradiance levels, spectral effects originated in the fact that one of the cells of the MJ could be limiting the current, and high temperatures reached by the MJ at higher irradiance levels that could have and important influence on power and efficiency . The study of these effects and the ability to quantify them individually is still under study.…”

For the behavior of concentrator photovoltaic systems technology under real conditions to be understood, different modules from different manufacturers were measured in a new research center in Jaén. The influence in the power and the efficiency of irradiation levels, air temperature, and the influence of air mass were under study for 6 months. Pmax shows a linear behavior with direct normal irradiance, and efficiency was constant to a first approximation for a wide range of irradiance levels. The effect of air temperature was negligible for the temperatures under study. At the same time, efficiency shows a maximum around AM1.5 and decreases aside this point.
