Evaluation and Optimization of an Innovative Low-Cost Photovoltaic Solar Concentrator

Many researches showed that the cost of the energy produced by photovoltaic (PV) concentrators is strongly reduced with respect to flat panels, especially in those countries that have a high solar irradiation. The cost drop comes from the reduction of the expensive high-efficiency photovoltaic surfa...
