Photovoltaic Concentrator Optical System Design: Solar Energy Engineering from Physics to Field

This dissertation describes the design, development, and field validation of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) solar energy system. The challenges of creating a highly efficient yet low-cost system architecture come from many sources. The solid-state physics of photovoltaic devices present fundament...
