TL;DR: Four models to estimate the maximum power of an HCPV module are studied and compared and it is demonstrated that the four methods show adequate behavior in the estimation of themaximum power of several H CPV modules from different manufacturers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral effects of soiling losses were investigated and the results showed that the blue end of the spectrum is more affected and that lower hemispherical T% correlate to larger area covered by particles.

TL;DR: In this article, a rotationally asymmetrical dielectric totally internally reflecting concentrator (RADTIRC) was incorporated in a small double glazing window for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a short communication paper focuses on the renewable heat incentive (RHI) scheme in the United Kingdom (UK); and in particular, on its implication on domestic installations of solar thermal systems (STSs).

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel densely packed receiver for concentrating photovoltaics has been designed to fit a 125× primary and a 4× secondary reflective optics, which is expected to work at about 300 Wp, with a short-circuit current of 6.6 A and an open circuit voltage of 50.72 V. In the light of a preliminary thermal simulation, an aluminum-based insulated metal substrate has been used as baseplate.
