A formula is proposed that characterizes the hourly AC power output of a passively-cooled Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) system in terms of 6 easily-determined system parameters and 4 measured or computed environmental variables. The model was tested on a grid-connected Soitec CPV system at Sede Boqer in the Negev Desert of Israel and found to be accurate to within typically ± 5% for any given hour of the year.
