View moreFor high and ultra-high concentrator optics, this is difficult to overcome without compromising another attribute such as optical efficiency or irradiance distribution. Conventionally, the acceptance angle of an optical system is taken to be the offset angle from normal solar incidence, which achieves 90 % of the normal incidence power.
The ideal solar concentrating optical system would have 100 % optical efficiency, an output of uniform irradiance distribution (matching in shape and size to the PV receiver), maximum acceptance angle, high optical tolerance, and durability (hence high reliability). It would also preferably be cheap to manufacture, lightweight, and easy to install.
Conventionally, the acceptance angle of an optical system is taken to be the offset angle from normal solar incidence, which achieves 90 % of the normal incidence power. This value may be different for \ ( \theta \) > 0 and \ ( \theta \) < 0 in an asymmetric concentrator (or one with asymmetric errors).
The receiving solar cells are arranged in three distinct positions in each concentrator. The results reveal that the output power from both concentrators is affected by the placement of the receiving solar cells within the concentrator.
The acceptance angle can be determined from the variation of optical efficiency as a function of the incident angle of the input light rays. However, there is slight variation in the value at which to measure the acceptance angle (e.g., 95–80 % of the normal incidence maximum).
The acceptance angle for the parabola on the right and the receiver is (theoretically) 90°, but the acceptance angle for the parabola on the left is between 24° and 36°. Fig. 6 depicts the resulting concentrators when the aforementioned concentrator is paired with the concentrator including V-shaped or parabolic reflectors.
