in a remote area where a small- or medium-performance CR is sufficient for the power demand, it is usually too cumbersome to maintain such a tracking system. A Static CPV (SCPV) collects solar energy without using a tracking system. A SCPV has a wide acceptance angle, and usually produces small- to medium-CR values [2].
Followings are the main advantages of a concentrator: (i) It increases the solar intensity (beam radiation) by concentrating the solar energy available over a large surface, (A_{text{a}}), onto a smaller surface, (A_{text{r}}), (absorber/receiver). (ii) Due to the concentration being on a smaller area, the heat-loss area is reduced as mentioned previously. …
