. To better understand the process of condensation formation in CPV modules, an experimental setup containing two Insolight mockup modules has been prepared to firstly, monitor the relevant variables involved in the internal dew point, namely the internal relative humidity and air temperature, the differential atmospheric pressure between the module and the environment and the temperatures of the front and rear parts of the modules, and secondly, to be able to modify the exchange conditions with the environment. After spending the wet season in Madrid (four months during the winter), the formation of condensation has been correlated with the monitored dew point and most of the time it disappears after a few hours. Considering that sealing the module would increase the internal pressure to the point of failure due to thermal expansion, the modules are always equalized through a breather. Hence, some preliminary mitigating actions have been studied such as the addition of desiccant and different venting configurations that seek to reduce the amount of humidity content and therefore help prevent the formation of the dew point.

. At the end of the fabrication process, multijunction solar cells must be electrically isolated from one to another; a step commonly known as mesa isolation. In this paper, three different techniques are assessed to perform this step: saw-dicing, wet etching and plasma etching. Triple junction solar cells were fabricated with each process and the open-circuit voltages were measured in order to compare the impact of each technique on the device performance. An optional wet treatment is also proposed to clean the sidewalls after the mesa isolation process. The process throughput and the wafer area yield are also assessed for all techniques in order to determine which one is the most suitable from the industrial standpoint. This study indicates that a plasma etching process followed by a wet clean is the process that maximizes the solar cell performance, the process throughput and the wafer area yield.
