ABSTRACT:
A stowable and deployable concentrator for solar cells. A substrate mounts a row of solar cells. A row of Fresnel lens elements is mounted to the substrate so as to be deflectable toward the substrate in a stowed configuration and biased away from it in the deployed configuration. The Fresnel lens is linear and flexibly mounted in a shaper which shapes it to a proper curvature in the deployed configuration. A pair of these concentrators can be hinged together to form a conveniently stowed and readily deployed combination.
