ABSTRACT:
A multi-layer array of power converting elements for converting electromagnetic energy such as sunlight incident on the array to electricity is disclosed. The array is suitable for use in integrated circuit arrays as well as discrete circuit arrays. The array comprises an upper layer of photocells with spaces between the photocells. At least one other layer of photocells is disposed below the upper layer and is illuminated by the penumbra of the upper layer. Lower layers are separated from upper layers by a distance defined by the width of the cells in the immediate upper layer, the distance between the array and the source of electromagnetic energy and the width of the source of electromagnetic energy.
