“…To increase the solar power generation efficiency and reduce cost, reflectors and lenses were employed to focus the incident solar irradiation on the PV cell. 2,3 Concentrating solar energy on PVs possesses the potential to substitute the costly PV material with cost-effective optical elements that help in reducing the overall costs of the Concentrating PV system (CPV). [4][5][6][7] CPV systems are categorized into three groups using the magnitude of solar concentration, which includes low (LCPV), medium (MCPV), and high (HCPV) concentration.…”

“…Nevertheless, PV technology has a higher cost compared to conventional energy generation sources. To increase the solar power generation efficiency and reduce cost, reflectors and lenses were employed to focus the incident solar irradiation on the PV cell 2,3 . Concentrating solar energy on PVs possesses the potential to substitute the costly PV material with cost‐effective optical elements that help in reducing the overall costs of the Concentrating PV system (CPV) 4‐7 .…”

“…Aún podemos objetivamente verificar que los concentradores pueden proporcionar más energía en zonas nubosas que los paneles planos convencionales gracias al diferencial de eficiencia que puede conseguirse con concentración. En un artículo presentado en Glasgow [19], el Dr. Verlinden mostró que los concentradores fabricados por Sun Power producen más energía que los módulos planos (para la misma potencia estándar nominal) en cuatro lugares a lo largo de la costa oeste de Estados Unidos. La principal sorpresa fue que uno de esos lugares es la nubosa ciudad de Seattle.…”

“…La principal sorpresa fue que uno de esos lugares es la nubosa ciudad de Seattle. Esta ciudad era la peor ubicación de las estudiadas, y se obtenía que para que un concentrador fotovoltaico produjera la misma energía que un módulo plano equivalente en potencia se requiere sólo un 20% de eficiencia del sistema de concentración, lo que es perfectamente alcanzable con las actuales tecnologías [19].…”
