| Popis: | We have developed an approach for designing a dichroic coating to optimize performance of current-matched multijunction photovoltaic cells while diverting unused light. By matching the spectral responses of the photovoltaic cells and current matching them, substantial improvement to system efficiencies is shown to be possible. A design for use in a concentrating hybrid solar collector was produced by this approach, and is presented. Materials selection, design methodology, and tilt behavior on a curved substrate are discussed. |
