Proof-of concept for a self-tracking solar concentrator

Volker Zagolla, Eric Tremblay, and Christophe Moser

Abstract

A phase change material actuator is used for a passive, self-tracking solar concentrator system capable of achieving effective concentration factors of 100X with reasonable dimensions (40 × 10 cm2). We show simulations and an experimental proof-of concept demonstrator of the proposed system.
