对采用三结太阳能电池的聚光光伏组件进行了三维模拟。结合光学模型的光线追迹模拟和三结太阳能电池的三维等效电路模拟，计算了CPV组件的工作特性。通过三维仿真，我们考虑了跟踪误差对CPV模块的影响。结果表明，最大输出功率与光学系统的光学效率无关，而与填充因子密切相关。我们可以使用这种全3D模拟来评估和优化CPV模块。
A 3-dimensional (3D) simulation for a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module using a triple-junction solar cell was developed. By connecting ray-trace simulation for an optics model and 3D equivalent circuit simulation for a triple-junction solar cell, the operating characteristics of a CPV module were calculated. By using the 3D simulation, we considered the influence of tracking error on the CPV module. It was found that maximum output power was not correlated with optical efficiency of the optics system and was strongly dependent on fill factor. We can use this total 3D simulation for the evaluation and optimization of CPV modules.
