Abstract:
Various structural patterns are used to control light properties during propagation. In particular, when light is trapped and concentrated onto solar cells, they generate more electricity than without concentration. Since the sun moves continuously, a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) can enhance the efficiency of solar cells by light-trapping and concentration because a CPC minimizes optical loss by reducing the reflection and the scattering on the surface of solar cells. However, CPC devices are generally expensive to manufacture and are too large in size to be used for applications requiring portability. Here, we developed a novel manufacturing process for a small CPC device and verified the enhanced efficiency of solar cells. Based on ultra-fine planing and injection molding, this process is an efficient method for mass production because it relies on replication.
