Abstract
The paper lists the results of research and development on solar array s with solar radiation concentrators. It is shown that solar concentra tors reduce the amount of semiconductor material photovoltaic converte rs must be made of, and substantially lower the space radiation effect s on photovoltaic converters with resulting service life increases.
