The use of a specially designed concentrator and a lateral solar-cell architecture holds the key to producing efficiencies in excess of 50%. Incident solar light is split by the concentrator and directed onto three separate solar cells – for high-, medium- and low-energy photons. The concentrator design uses tiled elements because these enable compact and robust packaging.
