High performance cost-effective hybrid Concentrated PhotoVoltaics - Thermal (CPV-T) systems

水晶绿色能源公司（CGE）正在开发一种带有聚光光伏热（CPV-T）的跟踪器。 接收器，其中整体潜在收益率比今天的传统固定平板光伏高2-3倍 板.当安装在太阳跟踪器上时，CPV-T面板在晴朗的白天总是完全照亮， 利用极高质量的聚光器光学器件和最先进的 效率（40%）的太阳能电池，在高效的热收集系统中收集剩余的热能，以供使用 用于建筑供暖、家用热水处理、盐循环空调或其他用途。 每一个元素都已经单独优化过，下一步的关键是仔细分析 CPV电池在大跨度温度范围下的性能，以模拟CPV-T在 系统级。 CPV在Universite de Sherbrooke的工作与开发所需的测量设置非常一致 并分析策略，以进一步提高CGE CPV-T技术。

Crystal Green Energy (CGE) is developing a tracker with Concentrator PhotoVoltaic-Thermal (CPV-T) receivers, where the overall potential yield is 2-3 times higher than todays conventional fixed flat photovoltaic panels. When mounted on sun trackers, CPV-T panels, are always fully illuminated during clear day hours, make better use of that energy with extremely high quality concentrator optics and state-of-the-art high efficiency (40%) solar cells, harvest the remaining heat energy in an efficient thermal collection system, for use in building heating, process domestic hot water, salt-cycle air-conditioning, or other use. Every element has been previously optimized individually, and a key next step is based on a careful analysis of CPV cells performance under a large span of temperature ranges to model the behaviour of CPV-T at the system level. The CPV work at Universite de Sherbrooke is very well aligned to develop the required measurements setups and analysis strategies in order to further enhance CGE CPV-T technology.
