  • Publication number: 20070227581
    Abstract: A solar cell array is directly affixed onto an optical concentrator having wide view-angle. The optical concentrator allows more light to concentrate onto the solar cell array, and as a result the size of the solar cell array is greatly reduced, which leads to a great reduction in material cost.
