Solar Energy Generation In Three Dimensions

We demonstrate that absorbers and reflectors can be combined in the absence of sun tracking to build three dimensional photovoltaic 3dpv structures that can generate measured energy densities energy per base area kwh m 2 higher by a factor of 2 20 than stationary flat.
