In the previous research, a prism/spectrum splitting multijunction concept was determined feasible for constructing a photovoltaic system. In this investigation, a prototype, modular concentrator photovoltaic system is being developed that is expected to exhibit an amo efficiency greater than or equal to 30% at the beginning-oflife. The prism/spectrum splitting approach is being utilized to couple photons of appropriate wavelengths to si, gaas, and algaas, with bandgaps of 1.12 ev, 1.42 ev, 1.90 ev, respectively. The specific spectrum splitting approach involves incident light passing through an objective prism sheet to a parabolic reflector where the dispersed spectrum is projected onto a photovoltaic array consisting of three cells. The parabolic reflector concentrates the light and focuses all photons of a given wavelength to a region on the appropriate cell. The prototype system being constructed will have an aperture of 10 cm x 25 cm, and an effective concentration of 50x. The system is expected to have power per unit area and power per unit mass ratios that are greater than 400 w/m2 and 40 w/kg, respectively. When successful, applications would include space power generation and ground-based power needs. Potential commercial applications include large power generating facilities, localized power source needs and remote power.
