Double layer structure of the condenser

The present invention discloses a concentrator photovoltaic module and the alignment device and method thereof. A laser source is disposed on a top surface of an alignment device at a tilt angle. According to the optical alignment points on a circuit board, the circuit board and the concentrating lens can be aligned and thus completing assembling a concentrator photovoltaic module. The alignment device and method for concentrator photovoltaic module requires no optically inactive region to complete alignment. Thereby, the utilization of the sunlight and the output power efficiency of the concentrator photovoltaic module can be enhanced.

Concentrator photovoltaic module and the alignment device and method thereof

The present invention discloses a manufacturing method of a condensing lens for a high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) module. A buffer layer made of silicone is added between a glass and the condensing lens for adhering the glass to the condensing lens. Because the buffer layer can be formed on the glass before adhering to the condensing lens, a higher temperature for increasing adhesion between the glass and the buffer layer can be applied. It also allows the follow-up processes to have sufficient treatment time, thereby increasing the flexibility of processing schedule.

Condensing lens for high concentration photovoltaic module and manufacturing method thereof

A manufacturing process of silicone glass concentrator lens, wherein, a mold is provided with a material inlet hole and an air outlet hole that are respectively used for pouring in liquid silicone and exiting air respectively. Wherein, firstly, the mold is connected to a glass carrier plate in a vertical arrangement, then pouring the liquid silicone into the mold through the material inlet hole, thus exiting the excessive air through the air outlet hole of the mold automatically. Through the application of this manufacturing process, a bubble-free silicone glass concentrator lens can be made in a fast manner without the occurrences of liquid silicone overflow, hereby reducing the production cost.
