Abstract
Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) focus the sunlight on a cell area smaller than the aperture area, making the use of highly efficient multijunction solar cells cost-effective. However, the high heat flux generated under concentration can raise the cell temperature and reduce the benefits of higher concentration. Low thermal resistance cell packages (receivers) associated with effective heat sinking can alleviate this problem. This paper proposes a new experimental method and characterization platform to measure the thermal performance of a solar cell receiver in a specific cooling module. The platform injects a calibrated heat flux into a test receiver to measure its contribution to the thermal resistance, demonstrating an accuracy and reproducibility of ±0.15 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">°</sup> C/W. A metric to evaluate the heat spreading capability of the receiver is defined and extracted from experimental measurements conducted with different thermal boundary conditions. Multiple receiver configurations and materials were characterized, demonstrating that the proposed test methodology and platform can capture their impact on the heat spreading capabilities. The results also highlight the importance of thermal interfaces and the benefits of spreading the heat in metallic layers before conducting it through the dielectric layers that form the receiver. The proposed metrics and characterization platform will therefore be beneficial for the design, experimental development, and selection of CPV receivers and cooling modules.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
