Photovoltaic panel laser

What is a 20 kW solar panel laser?

The laser is a CW high-energy Yb-doped fiber laser emitting at a center wavelength of 1075 nm with ∼1 m 2 of effective beam area. For 20 kW illumination of a solar panel having 0.6 m 2 of area, optical simulations and thermal simulations indicate an electrical output power of 3000 W at a panel temperature of 550 K.

What is a photovoltaic laser power converter (pvlpc)?

Photovoltaic laser power converters (PVLPCs) are the core element of power-by-light (PBL) systems, which are basically made up of a power laser, an optical fiber, and a PVLPC. PBL allows the safe transfer of power in situations where the direct use of electrical energy to power electronic equipment is either not possible or not recommendable.

How much power does a laser panel produce?

Our results also predict about 15% OE conversion in the laser power range of 10–20 kW, with panel temperature in the 436–560 K range—in particular, an electrical output of 3000 W from a 0.6 m 2 panel illuminated by 20 kW 1075-nm beam, where the panel operates at a temperature of 550 K.

Will a 905 nm laser-beam illuminate a solar panel?

In other words, our diode-laser simulations predict that when the 905 nm laser-beam illuminates the above-described solar panel, the resulting electric power outputs will be quite comparable to those for the Yb-fiber laser case.

Can a 3-V solar cell be used as a laser energy transmission system?

The cell was exposed to laser light of 858 nanometers. Image: Fraunhofer ISE Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE claims to have achieved a 68.9% conversion efficiency rate for a III-V solar cell that can be used in laser energy transmissions systems.

Can a laser beam illuminate a solar cell?

Laser beaming holds the promise of effectively implementing this paradigm. With this perspective, this work evaluates the optical-to-electrical power conversion that is created when a collimated laser beam illuminates a silicon photovoltaic solar cell that is located kilometers away from the laser.
