Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV): A
Sound Legacy• Developed for NASA in the mid-1970’s by
Sandia Labs and Spectrolab (a Boeing Subsidiary).
• CPV cell efficiency>40%, going to 50% in next year.
• Conventional PV efficiency declines 15-30% on hot sunny afternoon, CPV 5-10%.
• Reduces chip volume by 99.7-99.9%. • brightLeaf’s proprietary
technology minimizes CPV complexity and cost with maximum efficiency.
