摘要： III-V multijunction solar cells require solar concentrators with a high concentration ratio to reduce per watt cost and to increase solar energy transforming efficiency. This paper discusses a novel solar concentrator design that features a high concentration ratio, high transfer efficiency, thin profile design, and a high solar acceptance angle. The optical design of the concentrator utilizes a toroidal relay module, which includes both the off-axis relay lens and field lens design in a single concentric toroidal lens shape. The optical design concept of the concentrator is discussed and the simulation results are shown. The given exemplary design has an aspect ratio of 0.24, a high averaged optical concentration ratio 1230×, a maximum efficiency of 76.8%, and the solar acceptance angle of ±0.9°. 其他題名： Appl Opt 出版者： United States 出版日期： 2015-10-01 出處： Applied Optics, 2015-10, Vol.54 (28), p.E153-E158 資源來源： Optica Publishing Group Journals 識別號： ISSN: 1559-128X 識別號： EISSN: 2155-3165 識別號： EISSN: 1539-4522 識別號： DOI: 10.1364/AO.54.00E153 識別號： PMID: 26479646
