Renewable Energy, 1995, vol. 6, issue 7, 765-777

Abstract: This paper deals with the performance of photothermal and photovoltaic omnicolor (or “fully selective”) converters in the Solar System. Both interplanetary power stations and power systems placed on the surface of different planets are analyzed. The influence of the radiation concentration on system performance is outlined. The effect of the Sun's zenith angle is also discussed. Spectral distributions of the thermal collector optimum temperature and solar cell optimum voltage are shown.
