Abstract :
This paper proposes a prototype solution using silicone liquid to increase the efficiency of concentrated photovoltaic technology with Fresnel lens for better penetration of sun rays within the cell,. The developed concept consists in filling the homogenizer with refrigerating liquid. Three different configurations were realized and compared with the standard configuration without refrigerating liquid for evaluating the influence of silicone liquid and of polymethylmethacrylate layers.
