Abstract
A concentrator-type photovoltaic (CPV) receiver includes a solar cell on a substrate. The solar cell includes a light receiving surface having a conductive terminal thereon. A conductive lens support frame is mounted on the substrate and includes an opening therein that exposes the light receiving surface of the solar cell. A lens element is provided on the support frame opposite the light receiving surface of the solar cell. The support frame is electrically connected to the conductive terminal on the light receiving surface and an electrical node on the substrate. The support frame also supports and self-aligns the lens element with the light receiving surface to concentrate incident light thereon. Related fabrication processes are also discussed.
