Abstract
An enclosure for a concentrator photovoltaic device according to the present disclosure includes a side wall having an upper end, a lower end, an inner surface, and an outer surface, the side wall being composed of a resin, the side wall being provided with an air hole extending through the inner and outer surfaces of the side wall, the air hole being inclined from the inner surface of the side wall to the outer surface of the side wall in a direction from the upper end of the side wall toward the lower end of the side wall. According to the present disclosure, power generation efficiency of a photovoltaic module can be further increased, and the photovoltaic module can be suppressed from being decreased in performance due to entrance of undesired matters to inside of the case, such as dusts, water droplets, and foreign matters.
