A transmittance-optimized linear Fresnel lens solar concentrator has been developed. The optical performance of the lens has been analytically predicted, using the method of cone optics, to define the radiant flux profile in the focal plane. Also, the optical performance of the lens has been experimentally determined, using a focal plane radiant flux scanner, under actual solar illumination. A brief description of the lens, its predicted performance, and its measured performance is presented.
