In this study the impact of outdoor temperature variations and solar illumination exposure on spectral filter material and holographic optical elements is examined. Although holographic …
Spectrum splitting hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems can offer greater combined electrical/thermal efficiencies and higher thermal output than conventional (thermally …
While the price of solar energy has dropped dramatically in the last few years, costs must be further reduced to reach wide-scale adoption. One strategy to decrease cost is to increase …
Global energy production is dominated by the combustion of fossil fuels but in order to avoid the projected consequences of anthropogenic climate change it is necessary that …
Micro-scale PV technology combines the high conversion efficiency of concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) with the low costs and the simple form of flat panel PV. Some of the …
Solar energy can be a competitive renewable energy source when it provides high optical-to- electrical power conversion efficiency and energy yield at low cost. During the past few …
