CPV systems are categorized according to the amount of their solar concentration, measured in "suns" (the square of the magnification). Low concentration PV are systems with a solar concentration of 2–100 suns. For economic reasons, conventional or modified silicon solar cells are typically used. The heat flux is typically low enough that the cells do not need to be actively cooled. For s
Concentrating solar technologies can be used to generate electricity and process heat from sunlight, with the capability to store energy for use at night or when insolation is low.
