Abstract

In a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar cell system, placing an additional solar cell on an optical rod prism with parallel connection to the original cell generated more than 12.1 mA output current and 15.6% output power under the same illumination conditions. This mechanism provided a simple method to enhance the utility rate of CPV solar cells. Such a concept can be further applied to the aerospace industry and to the development of CPV solar energy.
