Results from the first ANU-chromasun CPV-T microconcentrator prototype in Canberra

A first prototype of the hybrid CPV-T ANU-Chromasun micro-concentrator (MCT) has been installed at The Australian National University (ANU), Canberra, Australia. The results of electrical and thermal performance of the MCT system, including instantaneous and full-day monitoring, show that the combined efficiency of the system can exceed 70%. Over the span of a day, the average electrical efficiency was 8% and the average thermal efficiency was 60%.
