A solar energy system that includes a primary concentrator (12), a receiver (14) having a plurality of photovoltaic cells (26), and a prefilter (22) surrounding the receiver (14). The prefilter absorbs some of the radiation that is out of band with respect to the photovoltaic cells (26), and may include a conduit (28) for a cooling fluid. The cells on the receiver are positioned such that each cell receives the same solar energy flux (16). The receiver may include a phase change to protect the photovoltaic cells from excessive temperatures. |
