Abstract
Optical design calculations are presented for a 3X compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) to determine the coupling with hybrid photovoltaic thermal (HPV/T) systems. Height-to-aperture and reflector-area to aper ture-area ratios, as well as the average number of reflections for rad iation passing through the inside and outside acceptance angles for a full and truncated CPC, have been calculated.
