Descripción
The electrical characterization of a CPV module can be carried out indoors by using an appropriate CPV solar simulator, such as the Helios 3198 developed at the IES-UPM. However, due to their limited angular acceptance, the evaluation of the angular transmission curve of a CPV module is as important as measuring its peak power. In the past, this measurement has been implemented on CPV flash solar simulators by mechanically altering the CPV module¿s angle with respect to collimated light source. However, this requires as many I-V measurements as points to be collected on the angular transmission curve, resulting in a process that is time-consuming as well as costly, due to the number of flash pulses required. Responding to this need, the IES-UPM has developed a static angular transmission measurement, with the ability to fully characterize the two-dimensional angular transmittance of a CPV module at high resolution, without the need for mechanical module rotation or flashes, and which is also able to extract the misalignment angles between the individual optical units, a useful metric for manufacturers in improving their assembly processes.
