Abstract

<p>Effective solar energy utilization is extremely important to realize carbon neutral society. Therefore, a power generation technology that can utilize full spectrum of sunlight is required. A thermophotovoltaics (TPV) based solar energy conversion, called as solar-TPV, potentially enables the use of the full spectrum of sunlight and high-efficiency conversion with single-junction cells. Here, we introduce a technology of controlling thermal radiation spectrum which is important to achieve high-efficiency solar-TPV and an experimental result using designed solar-TPV system. In addition, we show a perspective of advanced solar energy utilization by solar-TPV.</p>
