Full CPV module characterization via laser illumination of single optics

We present a laser-based module tester for performance rating of CPV modules. Our test methodology uses a system of collimated lasers to characterize each individual concentrator unit, then combines the results to model a full module IV curve. Power ratings and IV curves of modules evaluated by the...

Zusammenfassung:We present a laser-based module tester for performance rating of CPV modules. Our test methodology uses a system of collimated lasers to characterize each individual concentrator unit, then combines the results to model a full module IV curve. Power ratings and IV curves of modules evaluated by the laser tester are compared with outdoor measurements.
