Radial Coupling Method for Orthogonal Concentration within Planar Micro-Optic Solar Collectors

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present an orthogonal concentration method to further confine sunlight within planar solar collectors. Radial-oriented couplers create micro-optic solar concentrators with >375× geometric concentration and a 20% reduction in guiding loss.
