Abstract

The optical design of an ideal concentrator based on the combination of a cylindrical reflector and refracting prism is discussed and shown to have a number of advantages over other reflector type concentrators. A 20 × photovoltaic concentrator is shown to have an optical efficiency of over 70 per cent within the ideal acceptance angle in good agreement with experimental results.
