This is still about a factor of 3 superior to the corresponding CPC design at this field rim angle. 5. SUMMARY A new strategy has been developed here for efficiently reaching high flux levels in compact two-stage solar concentrators. Flux concentration as high as 90% of the thermodynamic limit can now be achieved at f-numbers as low as 0.47.
A possible way to concentrate sun light is by using a Fresnel reflector: a large number of small mirrors (called heliostats) that mimic the behavior of a large concentrator, replacing it. These heliostats can move to track the sun, keeping its light concentrated onto the receiver. Fresnel concentrators, however, may have important losses.

Two new types of two-mirror solar concentrator for tubular receiver, the snail concentrator and the helmet concentrator, are presented. The main feature of these concentrators is that they have a sizable gap between the secondary mirror and the absorber, and they still achieve concentrations close to the thermodynamic limit with high …
In this paper a novel type of two-stage non-focussing concentrator is described which makes economic photovoltaic and thermal solar conversion possible at current prices in many locations. The new concentrators use exceptionally little mirror (1.3–1.8 times full aperture), yet achieve concentrations up to 12 × without diurnal tracking.
Additionally, two-stage solar concentrators (TSSCs) are well-known for high solar power at medium to high temperature, efficient power delivery, as well as, compactness and modularity in deployment. A typical reflective TSSC consists of three components: a primary mirror, a secondary mirror, and a receiver (Fig. 1).

Their ...
The two-stage linear Fresnel reflector solar concentrator is analyzed via an in-depth study of an installed, nominally 220 KWt system. The concentrator includes: (1) a primary linear Fresnel reflector comprised of curved mirrors and (2) a secondary nonimaging CPC-type trough with a tubular receiver. The principal practical design …
The first stage of a two-stage solar hot water system uses a flat plate collector to heat water from an ambient temperature of 17oC to a temperature of 55oC. The second stage of the system employs solar concentrators to further heat the water to a working (steam) temperature of 462oC. (NB oC = degree Celsius)

Geometrical gain of a luminescent solar concentrator is drastically increased by laying out a luminescent fiber in a luminescent plate with air gap around it and attaching a photovoltaic (PV) cell to the tip of the fiber. The plate converts an incident photon to a first photoluminescence (PL) photon, and the fiber converts it to a second PL photon. Thus, …
Two-stage photovoltaic concentrators with Fresnel lenses as primaries and dielectric totally internally reflecting nonimaging concentrators as secondaries are discussed. The general design principles of such two-stage systems are given. Their optical properties are studied and analyzed in detail using computer ray trace procedures.

While nonimaging concentrators can approach the thermodynamic limit of concentration, they generally suffer from poor compactness when designed for small acceptance angles, e.g., to capture direct solar irradiation. Symmetric two-stage systems utilizing an image-forming primary parabolic concentrator in tandem with a nonimaging secondary …

Abstract. We present a new two-stage optical design for parabolic dish concentrators that can realistically attain close to 90% of the thermodynamic limit to concentration with practical, compact designs (e.g., at parabola rim half-angles of around 45°). For comparison, the parabolic dish-plus-compound parabolic concentrator …

However, cassegrains have higher CR than two-stage trough, and simpler geometry than two-stage dish or solar furnace [5]. Further, cassegrains utilize fewer solar cells (77 %), than one-stage concentrators [6]. However, only a few studies reported cassegrains, as concentrating thermo-photovoltaics in buildings [17], [18], [29], [35].
