Realization of Concentrated Photovoltaic Module Based on Horizontally Staggered Light Guide

Öz:
Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems have proven to be an important alternative to conventionalcrystalline silicon and thin film photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems. In CPV systems, lenses ormirrors are used to collect sunlight from a large area and to focus it onto a small area of a high efficiencyphotovoltaic cell. In this paper, we report the realization of a new CPV concentrator that is based on ahorizontally staggered light guide system with a medium concentration level. The optical components weremanufactured using a low-cost method, with PMMA as the optical material. Laser-grooved buried-contactsilicon solar cells were used and these cells are specially designed and fabricated for this application tominimize the optical and electrical losses. A complete mini-module with a 15 cm x 15 cm area was assembledand tested under outdoor conditions. The test results are in good agreement with the expectations and the mainproblems causing losses are identified to further improve the system. It is shown that an optical efficiency ofhigher than 80%, leading to a module power that exceeds 170 W/m2, is attainable with existing Si solar celltechnology with cost effective manufacturing methods

Yatay Adımlı Işık Yoğunlaştırıcı Temelli Yoğunlaştırmalı Fotovoltaik Modülünün Gerçekleştirilmesi

Öz:
Yoğunlaştırmalı Fotovoltaik (CPV) sistemler, konvansiyonel kristal silisyum ve ince film fotovoltaik (PV) enerji dönüşüm sistemlerine önemli bir alternatif olarak görülmektedir. Bu sistemlerde, lensler veya aynalar geniş bir alandan güneş ışığını toplayarak, küçük alanlı yüksek verimli fotovoltaik güneş hücresinin üzerine odaklamaktadır. Orta yoğunlaştırma seviyesine sahip ve yatay ışık kılavuzuna dayanan yeni bir yoğunlaştırılmış güneş paneli gerçekleştirilmiştir. Optik bileşenler, PMMA malzemesi kullanılarak düşük maliyetli bir yöntem kullanılarak üretilmiştir. Lazer oluklu gömülü temaslı silisyum güneş pilleri, optik ve elektrik kayıplarını en aza indirmek için bu uygulama için özel olarak üretilmiştir. 15 cm x 15 cm'lik alana sahip tam bir mini modül monte edilerek test edilmiştir. Test sonuçları beklentilerle uyum içindedir ve sistemi daha da geliştirmek için kayıplara neden olan temel problemler tanımlanmıştır. Silisyum güneş pili teknolojisi ve seri üretime uygun düşük maliyetli imalat yöntemleriyle, %80'den daha yüksek bir optik verimliliğin ve 170 W/m2'yi aşan panel gücünün elde edilebilmesinin mümkün olduğu gösterilmiştir
