title = "Optical polymer solar concentrators for compact CPV systems",
abstract = "A cost-effective, lightweight and compact polymer solar concentrator for a CPV system based on an acylindrical lens array and a freeform waveguide was demonstrated. The optical silicone material and cyclic olefin copolymer were compared as the solar concentrator and both materials achieved \textasciitilde{}160x optical concentration ratio as well as \textasciitilde{}90\% system optical efficiency. High optical efficiency and good tracking tolerance show the future viability of replacing a typical glass concentrator with a polymeric solar concentrator.",
