Abstract: A light concentrating photovoltaic system and method is provided to address potential degradation in performance of optical concentrator and PV cell assemblies, whether due to misalignments of various components within the optical concentrator (such as light guides, focusing elements and the like), misalignment between the optical concentrator and the PV cell, or other anomalies or defects within any such component. Within a single apparatus, a number of optical concentrators and corresponding sunlight receiver assemblies (including the PV cell) are provided each with a corresponding integrated power efficiency optimizer to adjust the output voltage and current of the PV cell resulting from differing efficiencies between each one of the concentrator-receiver assemblies.
