Hybrid (Tandem?) Implementation: Solar Spectrum Splitting PV/CSP for Thermal and Electrical Energy Harvesting
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In this abstract we report on our work towards integrating photovoltaic (PV) solar cells into a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) configuration. First we introduce the motivation for such a concept and the targeted demonstration, utilizing more efficiently the available solar energy, through spectrum splitting (and capturing also diffuse light as a side effect). Then we discuss the implementation and evaluation in 1- cell laminates, followed by some preliminary reliability testing on these. Finally, we discuss the upscaling through fabrication, evaluation and implementation in large-area, reflective, parabolic, bifacial CSP+PV elements that were integrated and tested in an existing CSP plant.
