Abstract
There is provided a concentrator photovoltaic unit and apparatus in which light collecting efficiency is hardly reduced and sealing ability is hardly deteriorated while using a resin lens and a metal case. After attaching a homogenizer and a photovoltaic element a holding member, a Fresnel lens is attached to a case to close an opening at an upper end portion of the case, and the holding member is attached to the case to close an opening at a lower end portion of the case, so that one concentrator photovoltaic unit in which the photovoltaic element is accommodated is manufactured.
