Abstract
A concentrator-type photovoltaic (CPV) device includes a solar cell comprising a substrate including a light receiving surface and a mounting surface opposite the light receiving surface. A conductive through-substrate interconnect having insulated sidewalls extends through the substrate from the mounting surface to the light receiving surface to provide an electrical connection to a conductive terminal on the light receiving surface. A lens support structure is formed on the light receiving surface, and a lens element is provided on the support structure opposite the light receiving surface. The support structure supports and aligns the lens element with the light receiving surface to concentrate incident light thereon. Related fabrication processes are also discussed.
