Abstract
The luminescence inverse method may be used to optically characterize a concentrator photovoltaic module. With this method, the module angular transmission is obtained by evaluating the light emission of a forward biased module. The influence of the emission of the cell when measuring the angular transmission is evaluated, and the process of building a global angular transmission from the set of individual optics-cell unit functions is explained. A case study of a module composed by several optics-cell units is presented. In order to validate the proposed measurement, results for five different CPV technologies are compared for both direct methods (i.e., solar simulator) and indirect methods (i.e., Luminescence inverse method).
