title = "One year of field studies of holographic planar concentrators at the Tucson Electric Power Solar Test Yard",
abstract = "A holographic concentrating photovoltaic system at the Tucson Electric Power Solar Test Yard reaches a performance ratio greater than one, out-performing competing technologies in the same test yard by at least 20%. Contributing factors to this high performance include bifacial acceptance of light and low operating temperature, leading to an increased energy yield. The benefits of direct and diffuse light accepted by the bifacial holographic modules and the effect of holograms on system performance are reported here. A method to distinguish incident light components and their respective contributions to power output is demonstrated. Results from one year of field studies of the holographic concentrating photovoltaic system are compared to theoretical models of performance and to a competing flat-plate photovoltaic technology being tested at the same location.",
