Abstract

A hybrid CPV-Thermal (CPV-T) micro-concentrator (MCT) system has been constructed. The MCT is a fully sealed, light-weight structure with a low wind-load factor. It incorporates modified one-sun solar cells operating at around 15 suns optical concentration using a novel ultra-lightweight Fresnel array with closed loop tracking to produce electricity and thermal energy suitable for generating hot water or running absorption chillers. Preliminary electrical and thermal performance data will be presented.
