Abstract

A method for manufacturing a solar concentrator cell module assembly within an integrated circuit process, which solar concentrator cell module assembly includes at least one solar device and which solar device includes one printed circuit board and one Fresnel lens. A printed circuit board is assembled according to a pre-defined circuit board base design layout that allows pick and place of a single solar concentrator cell chip onto a circuit board base. Connections are provided for the solar concentrator cell chip in a serialized or a parallelized arrangement on the circuit board base, and a plurality of openings are formed in the circuit board base below a backside of the solar concentrator chip to enable attachment of cooling fingers. A solar device based on a solar device layout is assembled using the assembled circuit board base and one Fresnel lens, the solar device having a solar concentration ratio by modifying the solar device surface versus the solar cell surface and covering a full extension of the circuit board base, which circuit board base provides means for interconnecting a plurality of the solar devices to one another to form the solar concentrator cell module ass…
