The value of concentration ratio of flat plate collector is: *
2 points
1
10
100
1000

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi, if you are referring to CPV, the concentration ratio is usually limited by the optics but instead the solar cell used. If using a silicon solar cell, designs usually stay under 100X otherwise recombination within the solar cell gets too high. In the III-V devices (GaAs based), this can go higher and something like 500X might be more common. Hope this helps, regards, Bryce
