G3-1090X Concentrator Photovoltaic Module SOLAR POWER SOLAR POWER DATASHEET | OCTOBER 2011 DATASHEET Module Advantages EMCORE’s Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) Module is designed for utility-scale solar installations in high irradiance locations. As one of the world’s largest supplier of III-V solar cells for concentrator systems, EMCORE is uniquely qualified to optimize module optics and subsystem components for world-class quality, cost, and performance. EMCORE’s CPV module achieves 28% dc efficiency at 1090X concentration to provide solar power where solar power matters. An innovative heatsink design allows for passive cooling with cell temperatures ~40°C above ambient, enabling power production in the hot, dry climates associated with high solar flux. A smooth glass front with a silicone-on-glass lens technology provides a robust interface to weather and is easily cleaned. The G3-1090X module is approved as incentive eligible through the California Energy Commission’s (CEC’s) rebate programs.
