Abstract:
1. A solar power generation system, comprising: at least one photovoltaic cell having a first side and a second side; a solar concentrator configured to focus solar radiation on the first side of the photovoltaic cell; a sealed evaporative cooling system, comprising an evaporative cooling chamber being at least partially configured to remove heat from the second side of the photovoltaic cell, the cooling chamber containing a coolant, and a condenser operable to receive the coolant in a vapor state and condense the coolant to a liquid state, and at least one coolant supply line configured to direct the coolant in the liquid state from the condenser to the evaporative cooling chamber, and at least one coolant return line configured to direct the coolant from the evaporative cooling chamber to the condenser wherein the condenser, the coolant supply line, the evaporative cooling chamber, and the coolant return line form a closed circulation system.
