Focusing on the innovative design of a nonimaging Fresnel lens concentrator, this book provides an in-depth exploration of its optical performance, including test results and comparisons with imaging Fresnel lenses and mirror-based systems. It highlights the synergy between nonimaging optics and solar energy collection, emphasizing the need for flexible, uniform flux concentrators that address solar disk size and tracking errors. Additionally, the text discusses the evolution of nonimaging optics since 1965 and its applications in more lucrative fields like optoelectronics.
