PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM INCLUDING A LENS STRUCTURE

摘要

PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM INCLUDING A LENS STRUCTURE A photovoltaic or solar cell generator includes a plurality of unit solar cells each having one or more p-n junctions. An optical light-focusing system, which includes an array of lens elements, focuses the incoming radiation into a series of preferably narrow beams that are incident on the surfaces of the unit solar cells at locations lying immediately adjacent but spaced from the p-n junctions.
