“…The results indicated that the collector e ciency in the east-west direction is higher than the collector e ciency in the north-south direction [11]. Yuan et al [12] investigated the thermal performance of a CPC with a tracker experimentally and numerically by adding a transparent Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (ETFE) foil. Results revealed that foil addition around the absorber reduces the convective heat loss by up to half and increases the e ciency by about 5%.…”

“…To figure out the irradiance distribution of the concentrator, both theoretical and experimental methods can be used. Theoretically, ray tracing simulation is conducted based on Monte Carlo Ray Tracing method either by programming [3] [4] [5] or using software such as LightTools [6], Zemax [7], Tonatiuh [8] and TracePro [9]. However, ray tracing simulation is somewhat ideal and does not coincide with practical setup where manufacture and installation errors are inevitable.…”
