Abstract

The low cost micro facet solar concentrator is proposed. Large number of small flat mirrors is situated at parabolic surface to approximate large parabolic mirror. Low cost commercial flat mirrors can be used for manufacturing of such concentrator. The problems of production of micro mirrors, support components and automatic assembly of concentrator are discussed. Rough estimations show that the cost of the concentrator should be approximately $ 55 per square meter of concentrator surface.
