摘要
A lens-walled compound parabolic concentrator (lens-walled CPC) has a larger half acceptance angle than a mirror CPC for the same geometrical concentration ratio of 2.5X, so it would be more suitable for the building-integrated application as a stationary solar concentrator. Based on our previous work, an outdoor experimental study of a sample trough lens-walled CPC PV module under sunny condition in Nottingham is described. The experimental results provide the verification of actual larger half acceptance angle obtained by the lens-walled CPC in comparison with a mirror CPC of the same size. Along with the analysis of the projected incidence angles, the experimental results also indicate that the lens-walled CPC of 2.5X orientated east-west may be a good choice for high latitude area as a stationary solar concentrator to give a satisfactory whole year performance.
