Abstract
Solar cell receiver subassemblies for use in a concentrating solar system that concentrates the solar energy onto a solar cell for converting solar energy to electricity. The subassemblies may include an optical element defining an optical channel and forming an optical path. The subassemblies may also include a solar cell receiver comprising a support and a solar cell mounted on the support adjacent to the optical element and in the optical path of the optical channel. The solar cell may include one or more III-V compound semiconductor layers and may be capable of generating in excess of 20 watts of peak DC power. The subassemblies may also include a heat shield mounted over and peripherally adjacent to exterior sides of the optical element to cover and block concentrated light from reaching a surface of the support adjacent to the solar cell.
