Abstract

In this paper, we report findings from a micro CPV module, employing 170 μm GaAs-based 2J CPV cells, assembled on glass substrates using micro-transfer printing. The CPV array uses all-glass lens arrays to focus the light with a geometric concentration ratio of 740 suns, and a bifacial, monocrystall...
