  The article has several links to sources which go into greater detail, each containing their own sources such as this which contains more design info you may find helpful.

    I clicked on a few but admittedly gave up too quickly. The paper had the same picture but fairly low resolution. This article had a better one: pv-magazine.com/…/fraunhofer-ise-unveils-micro-cp…

      I wonder if it’s possible to take older panels and apply this technique on a larger scale to upgrade them.

        I think they will simply get burned as they are not designed for radiation levels 2x or even 10x of normal sunlight. Normal pv panels lose efficiency very fast when they get too hot so even if they survive it, they might just output less.
