    Design of a Non-imaging Based Concentrated Photovoltaic System for Uniform Irradiance
    (UMT, Lahore, 2024) Waseem Iqbal
    Energy needs have been increased with the global advancement and industrial uprising. Electrical energy utilization shared a huge amount of energy to residential and industrial load. Traditional energy resources are expensive and pollutant, producing greenhouse gasses, which is the major environmental concern. Solar energy utilization is a cost-effective, sustainable, and green energy solution to meet the ongoing energy demand. Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) systems are developed for energy conversion by providing high efficiency using multi-junction solar cells. The CPV system has been given preference over the photovoltaic due to its high efficiency. In a CPV system, most of the solar cell area has been replaced with an optical concentrator. Various parabolic trough based CPV systems have been presented where a concentration of <300× is achieved so far.
