Project Description:
§ Proposes to determine the feasibility of developing a low-level concentrating photovoltaic system using an extruded polymer reflector and an integrated rear surface heat sink to significantly reduce the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar generated electricity.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A prototype system will be fabricated and tested.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Potential to decrease the installed cost of a large photovoltaic system. The proposed system may reduce the cost to the end customer by $3,000 per kW, primarily from savings in the cost of the module.
