Abstract

A facility for testing different components for HCPV application has been developed in the framework of“Fotovoltaico ad Alta Efficienza” (FAE) project funded by the Sicilian Regional Authority (PO FESR Sicilia 2007/20134.1.1.1). The testing facility is equipped with an heliostat providing a wide solar beam inside the lab, an optical benchfor mounting and aligning the HCPV components, electronic equipments to characterize the I-V curves of multijunctioncells operated up to 2000 suns, a system to circulate a fluid in the heat sink at controlled temperature and flow-rate, adata logging system with sensors to measure temperatures in several locations and fluid pressures at the inlet and outletof the heat sink, and a climatic chamber with large test volume to test assembled HCPV modules.
