Abstract: The invention relates to a photovoltaic component (10) having an outer pane (11) and an inner pane (12). An energy generating layer (15) comprising a plurality of concentrator photovoltaic modules (20) is disposed between the outer pane 11) and the inner pane (12). The concentrator photovoltaic modules (20) have a condenser optic (40) as the primary optic, a partially transparent deflection optic (50) as the secondary optic, and a photovoltaic chip (22) integrated into a surface-mountable housing (30), the surface-mountable housing (30) having a transparent cover (36) and an integrated reflector (23) as the tertiary optic. The partially transparent deflection optic (50) is arranged between the photovoltaic chip (22) and the inner pane (12), and the transparent cover (36) faces the inner pane (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a photovoltaic component (10) for applications outside the automotive sector, in particular for buildings, containers, boats, ships, construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles, trains and aircraft. The photovoltaic component has an outer pane (11) and an inner pane (12). Interposed between the outer pane (11) and the inner pane (12) is an energy generating layer (15) having a plurality of concentrator photovoltaic modules (20), the concentrator photovoltaic modules (20) having a condenser lens (21) as a primary optic and a photovoltaic chip (22) integrated into a surface mountable housing (30). The surface mountable housing (30) has at least two electrical contacts (22a, 22b) for contacting the photovoltaic chip (22), a transparent cover (36) and an integrated reflector (23) as secondary optics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a concentrator photovoltaic module comprising a housing, a photovoltaic chip, at least two electrical contacts for contacting the photovoltaic chip, and a transparent cover. The housing has a recess forming a receiving tray with a recessed bottom portion for receiving the photovoltaic chip. The receiving tray has side walls with at least a first and a second reflective region. The first reflective region is oriented at a first angle with respect to a horizontal plane of the housing and the second reflective region is oriented at a second angle with respect to the horizontal plane of the housing. The first angle is different from the second angle.
