The design and development of a high concentration and high efficiency photovoltaic concentrator utilizing a curved Fresnel lens

A.L. Moffat, R. S. Scharlack

Abstract

The design and development of an innovative photovoltaic concentrator which utilizes a low cost molded Fresnel lens is described. The lens design and fabrication are discussed, as well as the design of the collector module and tracking structure. A description of instrumentation developed to aid in the testing of lenses and solar cells is presented, and includes the test results.
