| Abstract: A photovoltaic (PV) module includes an absorber layer coupled to an optic
layer. The absorber layer includes an array of PV elements. The optic
layer includes a close-packed array of Keplerian telescope elements, each
corresponding to one of an array of pupil elements. The Keplerian
telescope substantially couple radiation that is incident on their
objective surfaces into the corresponding pupil elements. Each pupil
element relays radiation that is coupled into it from the corresponding
Keplerian telescope element into the corresponding PV element. |
