A MODIFIED CPC SOLAR CONCENTRATOR INTENDED TO ACHIEVE WIDER ANGLE OF ACCEPTANCE

The performance of compound parabolic solar concentrators (CPC) is extended through the provision of additional external reflectors that increased the angle of acceptance and hence achieve concentration for longer part of the day. The modified setup increased the angle of acceptance by over 70% whil...
