Team Innovative Solar Soulutions (ISS) designed, constructed, and tested a new prototype Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) array. The prototype uses stationary PV panels and articulated mirror panels to achieve an increased concentration of sunlight upon the PV panels. This invention generates nearly the equivalent power of conventional photovoltaic arrays while using fewer PV panels, which are usually quite expensive. Compared to currently available technology, the team's solar power conversion solution is more cost-efficient and demonstrates the successful use of the new 3M brand Cool Mirror Film.
Members of the team include Ken Casperson, Chris Fill, Mike Gearing, Ray Greensky, and Kevin Lidbeck. Team ISS's faculty advisor was Dr. Paul Webber.
