A new type of low concentration solar collector, namely the Compound Cylindrical Concentrator (CCC) has been analyzed, designed, fabricated and tested. Aluminum sheet was used for the reflector and black chrome coated copper tube for absorber with concentration ratio 1.65 for acceptance half angle 15/sup 0/. A V- groove was coupled to the CCC beneath the absorber to prevent optical loss, and a soft glass envelope surrounded the absorber to suppress heat convection. The distribution of irradiation I(0) around the absorber was measured under a solar simulator and the sunlight for different acceptance angles.
