Low cost concentratorThe key to concentrator cost effectiveness is the proper design of the reflector surface panels. The low cost concentrator reflective surface design is based on use of a thin, backsilvered mirror glass reflector bonded to a molded structural plastic substrate. This combination of reflective panel material offers excellent optical performance at low cost. The design approach, rationale for the selected configuration, and the development status are described. Reflective panel development and demonstration results are also presented.
