“…Many of these are covered in the text Solar Cells and Optics for Photovoltaic Concentration [2]. One recent and particularly interesting case is the RXI concentrator shown in Figure 11.36 [64]. The name RXI comes from the fact that the lens uses refraction, reflection (denoted by X), followed by internal reflection.…”

“…Their work, particularly that on static concentrators, is well described in the textbook, Solar Cells and Optics for Photovoltaic Concentration [2]. Recently, a new type of concentrator has been invented and researched, called the RXI concentrator discussed in Section 11.4 [64]. It is designed to use small GaAs cells that are only 1 mm on a side and manufactured and packaged similarly to LEDs.…”

For efficient and cost effective utilization Solar energy solar concentrators are vital. These are finding increasing applications in many solar energy applications such as concentrated solar photovoltaics, solar steam power generation, solar energy storage, solar cooking etc.. In this brief review we discuss the various types of solar concentrators, their current applications, advantages and disadvantages. We also suggest future new applications of solar concentrators.

Previous studies have shown that renewable energy is one of the effective ways to fight global climate change and emissions not to mention the increasing price of fossil fuels. Among the various renewable energy sources which include wind, solar, biofuel, geothermal and tidal waves, solar power has attracted much attention especially here in Africa because of the abundance of solar radiation. A lot of studies have been done on various photovoltaic (PV) cells ranging from silicon to thin film and most recently multi-junction solar cells. In this paper, we focused on concentrated photovoltaic cells (CPV) which are promising ways of converting solar energy to electricity. It is expected that if the most cost effective ways of converting solar energy to electricity is used, both the cost of installation and the running cost of concentrated photovoltaic cells will equate the utility grid electricity cost in a few years to come.
