Customer ServiceIntegration of photovoltaic generation in electric vehicles requires curved modules. Indoor characterization of modules is essential for power rating and quality control. A collimated light source is mandatory to illuminate curved modules. The benefits of collimated solar simulators are shown by means of optical ray-tracing.
One of the most advantageous installation features of PV modules is coverage on curved surfaces, and PV modules that incorporate flexible and thin-film solar cells, including thin-film Si 6, CIGS 7, CdTe 8, perovskite 9, 10, and III–V compounds 11, 12, could be suitable candidates.
Thus, this module design enables high areal coverage on 3D curved surfaces, while generating a higher electricity yield in a limited installation area. The use of photovoltaic devices for energy harvesting in real-world applications requires that they are conformable to non-flat surfaces.
The angular dependence of a curved module imposes a new requirement for a solar simulator in order to achieve results similar to the sun irradiance: light collimation. This concept has already been proposed and widely used in CPV [ , , , , , ].
When perfectly fitted on a 3D curved surface with a sharp curvature, a prototype module achieves an outdoor power conversion efficiency of 15.4% and the daily generated electricity yield improves to a maximum of 190% relative to a non-concentration stretchable PV module.
Two different module sizes have been simulated: a big module filling almost all the useable measurement area (1800 × 1100 mm2) and a smaller one with an aperture equal to 1315 × 675 mm2. In both cases, the curved modules are spherical or cylindrical shapes with of curvature between 5 m and 1 m.
