  • Abstract
    A photovoltaic concentrator system has been designed, developed, fabricated. and installed at the 3M/Austin Center. The two major objectives of the program were to develop a mass-producible, high-performance, low-cost photovoltaic concentrator system and to fabricate and deploy a nominal 300 kW system of the new design. Both of these objectives have been achieved. The authors describe the photovoltaic technology and discuss the fabrication, installation, and initial operation of the 2000 m2 system
