Theoretical Investigation of the Temperature Limits of an Actively Cooled High Concentration Photovoltaic System (2020)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., Shanks, K., Sundaram, S., & Mallick, T. K. (2020). Theoretical Investigation of the Temperature Limits of an Actively Cooled High Concentration Photovoltaic System. Energies, 13(8), Article 1902. https://doi.org/10.3390/en13081902

Concentrator photovoltaics have several advantages over flat plate systems. However, the increase in solar concentration usually leads to an increase in the solar cell temperature, which decreases the performance of the system. Therefore, in this pap...
