Total Spectrum Solar Concentrator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Total Spectrum Solar Concentrator is a device used to optimise the efficiency of solar power. The suns rays are first concentrated using parabolic mirrors or a fresnel lens, and then spread out into a light spectrum via a prism. Each different part of the spectrum is aimed at a solar cell manufactured to operate most efficiently in that frequency range.
This technology has multiple problems. Please see http://www.peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Total_Spectrum_Solar_Concentrator#Marginal_Gain
