Abstract
ABSTRACTA compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is defined as a non-imaging-type concentrating collector where incident solar radiations, after reflection from the reflector, are not concentrated at a point or line, but simply together on the absorber apparent which does not produce an image of the light source. It is an ideal solar energy collector which collects and focuses a larger area of sunlight onto a smaller area with minimum loss. This review paper presents a comprehensive review on CPCs carried out by various researchers from all around the world. Different factors affecting the performance of CPCs have been studied in the present paper.
