Abstract

The requirement of large mirrors for enhancing the energy collection of large solar devices has several problems. A strategy that one should proceed to solve the problems of low levels of concentration before tackling those of high levels is propounded. In this paper, two types of strip element mirror boosters, which overcome these problems are described. The systems mentioned herein are suitable for providing precisely fine tuned solutions to problems where low level concentration is of importance. The geometry, construction, application and relative advantages of both additive and multiplying systems are mentioned in this paper. These booster systems can be used to provide low level concentration to many solar devices such as photovoltaic arrays, water heaters, etc. The mirror systems described in this paper are fully tracked ones.
