The present disclosure relates to a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) module, system, and method utilizing a CPV module to provide uniform, concentrated solar energy distribution over one or more photovoltaic (PV) cells, to improve cooling of the PV cells to allow for high solar concentration, and to offer an energy efficient system that can be cost effectively implemented. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention includes solar collectors that concentrate solar energy and mechanisms for transporting and transferring the concentrated solar energy directly with the CPV module. Further, the CPV module includes a novel cooling mechanism utilizing a fluid to cool an interior of the module and the PV cells.
