    摘要: A photovoltaic device. The photovoltaic device includes a photovoltaic region including a surface region and characterized by a first thermal expansion constant. The surface region includes a first portion and a second portion, the second portion includes a first edge region and a second edge region. The photovoltaic device includes a concentrator element comprising substantially of a polymer material and being characterized by a second thermal expansion constant. The concentrator element includes an aperture region and an exit region. The photovoltaic device includes an elastomer material to couple the first portion of the surface region of the photovoltaic region to the exit region of the concentrator element, while the first edge region and the second edge region remain exposed. The first edge region and the second edge region allow for compensation by at least thermal expansion of the concentrator element for a change in temperature ranging from about −45 Degrees Celsius to about 95 Degrees Celsius to maintain the exit region to be optically coupled to the photovoltaic region.
