We demonstrate that absorbers and reflectors can be combined in the absence of sun tracking to build three dimensional photovoltaic 3dpv structures that can generate measured energy densities energy per base area kwh m 2 higher by a factor of 2 20 than stationary flat. This paper gives a general overview of a new technology in solar energy generation called the three dimensional photovoltaic 3dpv structure. We formulate solve computationally and study experimentally the problem of collecting solar energy in three dimensions. We demonstrate that absorbers and reflectors can be combined in the absence of sun tracking to build three dimensional photovoltaic 3dpv structures that can generate measured energy densities energy per base area kwh m2 higher by a factor of 2 20 than stationary flat.
