Abstract

In order to maximize the efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation, a concentrating photovoltaic power generation system with the cooling system and adjustable concentration ratio was designed based on the research on the characteristics of conventional single crystal silicon. The test was conducted with or without the cooling system under the condenser condition. The results indicated that the conversion efficiency of conventional solar cells was 16.6% under the natural environment. Under the condenser condition but without the cooling system, the conversion efficiency was 17.4%. Under the condenser condition with the cooling system, the conversion efficiency was 23.7%. When the concentration multiple was within 50 times, the cooling device of the concentrating photovoltaic system can ensure that the temperature of the sun battery is below 60°C, making the battery work under a higher conversion efficiency.
