Project ALCHEMI is a Solar Era.Net funded European collaborative project, which is developing a low cost, high efficiency HCPV module using a previous design developed by Fullsun PV. In this project, the 625 sun Gen 1 module has been redesigned to operate at 1000 suns and further improved by the utilization of state of the art 3 junction solar cells from three different vendors. Through use of ~42% efficient cells, it is expected to achieve module efficiencies of >37%. This paper describes the
