Title:
OPTICAL SHUTTER FOR IMPROVED PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010002903
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an optical shutter for improved photovoltaic array thermal performance.
A photovoltaic array with improved thermal performance includes a photovoltaic array, an electro-optic shutter disposed on the photovoltaic array, and a control system connected to at least the electro-optic shutter. The control system, based upon input from a sensor, switches the electro-optic shutter between transmissive and reflective conditions so as to control exposure of light to the photovoltaic array.
