2. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

   Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) modules on dual axis solar trackers in Golmud, China. Concentrator photovoltaics ( CPV) (also known as concentrating photovoltaics or concentration photovoltaics) is a photovoltaic technology that generates electricity from sunlight. Unlike conventional photovoltaic systems, it uses lenses or curved mirrors to ...

3. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

   A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors ( heliostats) that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.

4. Acceptance angle (solar concentrator) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_angle_(solar...

   Acceptance angle is the maximum angle at which incoming sunlight can be captured by a solar concentrator. Its value depends on the concentration of the optic and the refractive index in which the receiver is immersed. Maximizing the acceptance angle of a concentrator is desirable in practical systems and it may be achieved by using nonimaging ...

5. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   Solar thermal energy ( STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors. Solar thermal collectors are classified by the United States Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors.

6. Alamosa Solar Generating Project - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamosa_Solar_Generating...

   The Alamosa Solar Generating Plant is a 35.3 MW p (30.0 MW AC) concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) power station, the largest in the world when it was completed, in May 2012. [1] [2] It is currently the world's third largest operating CPV facility. [3] The output is being sold to Public Service of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, under a ...

7. Amonix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amonix

   Amonix, Inc. was a solar power system developer based in Seal Beach, California. The company manufactured concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) products designed for installation in sunny and dry climates. CPV products convert sunlight into electrical energy in the same way that conventional solar photovoltaic technology does, except that they use ...
