In this paper we present the application of high efficiency four‐junction solar cells using SOITEC bonding technology under a Fresnel lens optic and in a FLATCON®‐type CPV module. We demonstrate very high performance. The measurement of a sub‐module, consisting of a four‐junction solar cell adjusted under a single Fresnel lens, showed an efficiency of 38.9%. An 829.6 cm 2 sized FLATCON®‐type CPV module yielded in an efficiency of 35.0% and 36.7% at CSOC and CSTC, respectively. Thus, both, the sub‐module and the CPV module showed record values, which prove the usefulness of high efficiency four‐junction solar cells in CPV applications.

The measurement of a sub‐module, consisting of a four‐junction solar cell and a single Fresnel lens, showed an efficiency of 38.9%. An 830‐cm 2 sized FLATCON‐type CPV module yielded in an efficiency of 35.0% and 36.7% at CSOC and CSTC, respectively. Thus, both sub‐module and module showed record values, which prove the usefulness of four‐junction solar cells in CPV applications.
