NOVELTY - The microsystem has a translatable optic layer that includes an array of spaced apart focusing micro-optical elements. Each focusing micro-optical element is aligned to a respective one of the array of quasi-collimating (QC) micro-optical elements and is designed to produce the quasi-telecentric intermediate image. A translation stage (210) is coupled between the fixed optic layer and translatable optic layer. A motion processor is electrically coupled to the translation stage to control motion of the translatable optic layer relative to the fixed optic layer.    USE - Microsystem enabled photovoltaic (MEPV) module for PV solar energy system (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The dimensions of the individual micro-optical elements are reduced to reduce the overall weight of the exemplary PV solar energy system. The PV elements are able to efficiently absorb incident radiation, the micro-optical elements increase the intensity of the incident radiation within the PV elements. The individual PV elements have the combined advantages of improved thermal management and increased efficiency. Because the resulting quasi-collimated beams formed by the exemplary micro-optical elements are desirably coupled into absorption layer at approximately normal incidence, the design significantly simplifies the design and significantly improves the efficiency of wide bandwidth anti reflection (AR) coating. The design is coupled with the chromatic aberration of micro-optical element, allows each successive PV cell to efficiently absorb incident radiation within its absorption band, while using a minimum of the PV cell absorber material. The Keplerian telescope design provides the resulting PV module with a passive solar tracking method that efficiently accepts incident radiation over a predetermined range of angles.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a side view of the MEPV module.
