Abstract: A solar cell concentrator structure includes a first concentrator element having a first aperture region and a first exit region including a first back surface region and a first corner region. The structure also includes a second concentrator element integrally formed with the first concentrator element. The second concentrator element includes a second aperture region and a second exit region-including a second back surface region and a second corner region. Additionally, the structure includes a first radius of curvature of 0.25 mm and less characterizing the first corner structure and the second corner structure, a first coupling region between the first exit region and a first surface region of a first photovoltaic device. The structure further includes a second radius of curvature of 0.15 mm and less characterizing a region between the first concentrator element and the second concentrator element.

Abstract: A solar cell device. The device has a housing member. The device also has a lead frame member coupled to the housing member. In a preferred embodiment, the lead frame member has at least one photovoltaic strip thereon, which has a surface region and a back side region. The device has an optical elastomer material having a first thickness overlying the surface region of the photovoltaic surface. The device has a second substrate member comprising at least one optical concentrating element thereon. The optical concentrating element has a first side and a second side. The device has a first interface within a vicinity of the surface region and the first thickness of the optical elastomer material and a second interface within a vicinity of the second side and the optical elastomer material. In a specific embodiment, the optical concentrating element is coupled to the surface region of the photovoltaic strip such that the optical elastomer material is in between the surface region of the photovoltaic strip and the second side of the optical concentrating element. In a specific embodiment, the device has a spacing comprising essentially the optical elastomer material between the second side of the optical concentrating element and the surface region of the photovoltaic strip. The device has a plurality of particles having a predetermined dimension (e.g., non-compressible and substantially non-deformable particles) spatially disposed overlying the surface region of the photovoltaic strip and within a second thickness of the optical elastomer material to define the spacing between the surface region and the second side of the optical concentrating element. In a specific embodiment, the first interface is substantially free from one or more gaps (e.g., air gaps and/or pockets) and the second interface substantially free from one or more gaps to form a substantially continuous optical interface from the first side of the optical concentrating element, through the first interface, and through the second interface to the photovoltaic strip.
