This type of receiver, which Solar Systems has already deployed in Hermannsburg -- a remote outpost deep in the Australian "Bush" -- features just 0.25m2 of multi-junction photovoltaic material. Despite this small active area, the concentrator cell produces over 30 kW. Thanks to its abundant sunshine and clear skies, Australia has near-ideal weather conditions for concentrator photovoltaics.
