All CPV systems have aand a concentrating optic. Optical sunlight concentrators for CPV introduce a very specific design problem, with features that make them different from most other optical designs. They have to be efficient, suitable for mass production, capable of high concentration, insensitive to manufacturing and mounting inaccuracies, and capable of providing uniform illumination of the cell. All these reasons makethe most suitable for C.

The strong point of concentrated photovoltaics is the increase in the efficiency of solar cells. In fact, Shockley and Queisser defined, in their article published in 1960 and entitled "Detailed Balance Limit of Efficiency of p–n Junction Solar Cells" [], a maximum conversion efficiency of about 30% for single-junction solar cells under an illumination of 1000 W/m 2.
Instead of directly converting solar energy to electricity, as in PV panels, concentrated solar power concentrates sunlight onto a relatively small point, which heats a medium. The heat from the medium is then either transferred directly to the target to be heated, such as a swimming pool, or connected to a generator for producing electric
During sunny summer days, the average COP of the experimental prototype was 4.8, while hot water ranged between 30 °C and 70 °C. Power output per specific solar cells area was 1.6 times higher than that of a non-concentrating PV panel. The low cost of LCPVT makes them attractive for building integrated installations.
Concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) technology is a promising approach for collecting solar energy and converting it into electricity through photovoltaic cells, with high conversion efficiency. Compared to conventional flat panel photovoltaic systems, CPV systems use concentrators solar energy from a larger area into a smaller one, resulting in a higher

Solar cells are the electrical devices that directly convert solar energy (sunlight) into electric energy. This conversion is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect in which DC voltage is generated due to flow of electric current between two layers of semiconducting materials (having opposite conductivities) upon exposure to the sunlight [].

Various technologies have been developed to harness this plentiful resource, and one such technology is Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). When we think about solar power, we often picture solar panels installed on rooftops. These panels use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity.

Concentrated photovoltaic is an approach for generating reasonable amount of electricity with limited solar cell areas. More sunlight radiation will be intercepted by the solar modules hence less coverage of PV rooftop is needed, which is beneficial for homogeneous indoor illumination and uniform growth of plants.
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 focus sunlight onto small, highly efficient, multi-junction (MJ) solar cells.
The largest low-concentration photovoltaic plant in the world is Sevilla PV with modules from three companies: Artesa, Isofoton and Solartec. In a luminescent concentrator, light is refracted in a luminescent film, and then being channelled towards the photovoltaic material.
