A Review of the Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) with a Tubular Absorber

The<b> </b>compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is a highly interesting solar collector technology for different low-concentration applications due to no tracking requirement. The CPC with a tubular absorber is the most common type of CPC. Here, a comprehensive state-of-the-art review o...
