Abstract

A 1-D axisymmetric model for predicting the thermal and electrical performance of miniature high-flux photovoltaic concentrators was proposed. A CFD model was developed for model-validation and experimental measurements were performed with a real sun solar simulator. It was found that the miniaturization of the solar cell module permitted passive heat rejection. It was shown that both the modeling approaches predicted heat sink temperatures within experimental uncertainty of a couple of degrees.
