Abstract:
Energy converting system comprising:at least one cell array; and at least one light concentrating unit unevenly directing concentrated light at said at least one cell array, said at least one cell array comprising at least one parallel connected group coupled in parallel within said at least one cell array, each said parallel connected group comprising at least two series connected groups coupled in series within said parallel connected group; each said series connected group comprising at least one photovoltaic cell coupled in parallel within said series connected group, each said series connected group having a series group flux value associated therewith, said series group flux value being the sum of flux values incident on the at least one photovoltaic cell of said series connected group, wherein for each of said at least one parallel connected group, said respective at least two series connected groups are selected such that differences between said selected series connected group series group flux values are minimal.
