Considerations for how to rate CPV

摘要: The concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) industry is introducing multiple products into the marketplace, but, as yet, the; community has not embraced a unified method for assessing nameplate rating. choices of whether to use 850,; 900, or 1000 W/m2 direct-normal irradiance and link rating ambient cell temperature will; affect how CPV modules are rated compared with other technologies. This paper explores qualitative and; quantitative ramifications these using data from two multi-junction flat-plate; modules.
