6 FAQs about [Solar focusing optical system design]

How can solar concentrator optics improve cost effective PV technologies?

In order to make the necessary leaps in solar concentrator optics to efficient cost effective PV technologies, future novel designs should consider not only novel geometries but also the effect of different materials and surface structures.

What are the trends in solar concentrator design?

Trends towards higher performance solar concentrator designs include the use of micro-patterned structures and attention to detailed design such as tailoring secondary optics to primary optics and vice-versa.

How will space solar-concentrator optics work?

Plans for space solar-concentrator optics, which would direct light toward solar fields on Earth, consist of a lightweight array of heliostat mirror satellites in a constellation in low Earth orbit (1000 km). Although this may seem far-etched, NASA is developing a solar sail due to be finished by 2015.

What makes a good solar concentrating optical system?

The ideal solar concentrating optical system would have 100 % optical efficiency, an output of uniform irradiance distribution (matching in shape and size to the PV receiver), maximum acceptance angle, high optical tolerance, and durability (hence high reliability). It would also preferably be cheap to manufacture, lightweight, and easy to install.
