Performance analysis of a third-generation linear fresnel lens passively cooled photovoltaic collector

Conference · · Proc. Annu. Meet. - Am. Sect. Int. Sol. Energy Soc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5048075
The results of a parametric investigation in which the linear Fresnel lens concept has been optimized specifically for photovoltaic applications are presented. The results of the study show that performance improvements of about 14% can be achieved for the new generation of linear Fresnel lens passively cooled photovoltaic collectors using currently available lens and cell technology. The new design is presented and compared with the current baseline collector design.
