Concentrating photovoltaics

Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) is one of the most efficient technologies for obtaining electrical energy from direct sunlight.

In this technology, high-precision lenses with fine microstructures are mounted in front of a high-performance solar cell. This concentrates the normally wide range of incident angles of the sunlight to a very narrow band so that much more solar energy can be captured for conversion. 

Evonik has developed special components and solutions for this solar application: 

PLEXIGLAS® for CPV

PLEXIGLAS® Solar meets requirements for CPV in exterior applications and has been specially designed to satisfy the requirements of solar cells. more
