Ray trace calculations are performed to acquire the normal-incidence optial efficiencies and incident angle modifiers for four commercial evacuated tube collectors. The significance of the incident angle modifiers is illustrated by comparing the efficiencies of collectors with tubes aligned north-south. The calculations are compared with measured data for one of the collectors and with solar simulator data. (LEW)
