Abstract: A solar module can have its output processed based on the frequency responses. The high and low frequency responses can be processed separately, thus allowing the solar module to respond optimally to the rapid fluctuation of power generation, such as due to changes in weather.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to low-concentration photovoltaic modules. The photovoltaic modules may comprise a flexible backsheet having a plurality of electrically conductive circuit elements that have been embossed or imprinted to create optical features in the electrically conductive surface. The solar cells are then in electrical contact with the electrically conductive circuit elements to complete the photovoltaic module. By imprinting/embossing the electrically conductive circuit elements, incident solar radiation that would normally not reach the solar cells may be reflected and collected by the solar cells. Thus, substantially all of the solar radiation that is exposed to the photovoltaic module is collected by the solar cells of the photovoltaic module.
