ABSTRACT:
The Fresnel lens concentrator is formed by a specially designed Fresnel lens and a solar cell located on the axis of the lens at its focal plane. The lens is designed so that its central facets project the light from the sun towards the outer periphery of the cell and facets progressively toward the periphery of the lens project light progressively toward the center of the cell to obtain a uniform distribution of light on the cell. Adjacent groups of facets of the lens project the light alternately in front and beyond the cell to maintain a constant light intensity for a certain depth of focus of the lens.
