Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) Power Generation System

With a module that’s twice as efficient as conventional silicon photovoltaic systems, this power generation system by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. is designed for high solar radiation (DNI >6.5) and high-temperature areas. Solar panel installation occurs high above the ground in order to offer usable space below the panels. This space-saving feature is just one of the reasons why the CPV system is on tap to become the next-generation photovoltaic generator.
