Investigation into Spectral Parameters as they Impact CPV Module Performance

Matthew Muller, Bill Marion, Sarah Kurtz

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

The CPV industry is well aware that performance of triple junction cells depends on spectral conditions but there is a lack of data quantifying this spectral dependence at the module level. This paper explores the impact of precipitable water vapor, aerosol optical depth (AOD), and optical air mass on multiple CPV module technologies on-sun in Golden, CO.
