摘要
The influence of thermal effect on the energy conversion efficiency of concentrating photovoltaic system for multi-junction GaInP/GaAs/Ge thin-film solar cell is analyzed experimentally.With the increment of operation temperature,the maximal energy conversion efficiency and optimal loaded resistor will be changed.Under the condition of operation temperature lower than 90℃.this influence of thermal effect is very small.However,when the operation temperature exceeds 90℃,the maximal conversion efficiency of the cells will decrease sharply,and contrarily the corresponding optimal loaded resistor will increase quickly.Then the system performance will degenerate badly and a thermal management will be necessary.
