Summary:Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) is a technology that offers an alternative to standard silicon modules, being more efficient and eco-friendlier. AtemEnergia is developing a CPV product with good characteristics of efficiency and reliability. To monitor the progresses of our prototypes, test their quality and discover potential defects in the devices and in the production lane, custom experimental setups were necessary, to investigate the peculiar characteristics of this technology, avoiding the huge costs of commercial instrumentation in this field. Here is an overview of the tests necessary to guarantee the correct production quality, along with the custom solutions we adopted for their implementation.
