Abstract

Semprius has developed a novel microcell based, highly scalable HCPV module that addresses performance, cost and reliability requirements for utility scale solar installations. Semprius has fabricated dual junction cell based engineering prototype modules with 1000X concentration based on this technology. A 1 kW HCPV system using these modules was installed in Tucson to validate the technology and acquire on‐sun data. Eight months of on‐sun results from this system are presented.
