AB The study of high concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) technology under realconditions is essential to understand its real behavior. The influence of directnormal irradiance (DNI), air temperature (Tair), and air mass (AM) on themaximum power of two HCPV modules was studied for more than three years.Results found are presented in this paper. As expected, the main influence on themaximum power is DNI. Also, Tair has been found to have small influence on themaximum power. Regarding AM, two different behaviors have been found. Themaximum power could be considered independent of AM for AM  2, while itdecreases with an approximate linear behavior for AM > 2. Also, the maximumpower of a HCPV module could be estimated with a linear mathematical fittingbased on DNI, Tair, and AM
