THE INCREASE OF THE LIGHT INTENSITY AND THE NUMBER OF BAND-GAPS OF SOLAR CELLS CAN LEAD TO NEXT GENERATION PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) TECHNOLOGIES WITH EFFICIENCIES EXCEEDING > 80%, HOWEVER, NOWADAYS, THE RECORD EFFICIENCY, AROUND 45%, IS FAR BELOW THE THEORETICAL LIMIT, I,E, 85%, THEREFORE, THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR HUGE TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS TO PUSH THE EFFICIENCY TOWARDS THE MAXIMUM SOLAR CONVERSION,THIS PROJECT IS FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL HIGH-EFFICIENCY SOLAR ENERGY BREAK-THROUGH IN THE FIELD OF CONCENTRATOR PHOTOVOLTAICS (CPV), THE SO-CALLED ULTRAMICROCPV TECHNOLOGY WILL BE BASED ON: 1) NOVEL ARCHITECTURE OF SOLAR CELLS (EFFICIENCY > 60%), 2) NEW TYPE OF OPTICAL CONFIGURATIONS (EFFICIENCY > 80%) AND 3) A FIRST OF ITS KIND CPV/TE RECEIVER (EFFICIENCY > 5%), OPERATING AT ULTRA-HIGH CONCENTRATION FLUXES > 2000 SUNS, ULTRAMICROCPV TECHNOLOGY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE FIRST PV ENERGY ABLE TO CONVERT MORE THAN A HALF OF THE SUNLIGHT INTO ELECTRICITY; AT THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS (2-10 TIMES HIGHER) AND VERY LOW COST (< 0,7 €/WP), THE TARGETED EFFICIENCIES AND FEATURES OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY ARE BEYOND THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF THE DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING EACH OF THE TOPICS MENTIONED, AND THEREFORE ARE A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF THE AMBITION OF THE PROJECT,THE ULTRAMICROCPV PROJECT AIMS TO ESTABLISH A STRONG AND COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGY IN THE EU ABLE TO DEVELOP A NEW TYPE OF HIGH-EFFICIENCY AND COST-EFFECTIVE PV, THE EFFICIENCIES AND MICRO-SCALING OPEN THE DOOR FOR LARGE SCALE IMPLEMENTATION IN LARGE GENERATION FACILITIES, AND FOR NEW APPLICATIONS IN CPV SUCH AS RESIDENTIAL, ROOFTOPS OR INDUSTRIAL, THIS PROJECT PRESENTS AN OUTSTANDING NEW SOLUTION TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND GLOBAL WARMING, AS A CONSEQUENCE, ULTRAMICROCPV TECHNOLOGY OFFERS A UNIQUE APPROACH AND ONE OF THE FASTEST ROUTES TO ACHIEVE A GREATER ENERGY DENSITY BY UTILISING SOLAR ENERGY, SOLAR ENERGY\PHOTOVOLTAICS\CONCENTRATOR PHOTOVOLTAICS ver más
