Resumen

To take better advantage of solar energy in buildings or homes, low­level and medium­level concentration systems arerequired, and the systems should be preferably static. In the present work, three systems with a geometric concentration factor of 4Xare evaluated numerically: two of the CPC type (3D­SCPC and 3D­CCPC) and one funnel­shaped. Their performance as static con­centrators throughout the day is analyzed. The Funnel system has the best energy harvesting performance, followed by the 3D­CCPCsystem. The best uniformity of radiant energy distribution in the receiver throughout the day was attained by the 3D­SCPC system.Of the three, it is the most suitable for photovoltaic applications.
