Abstract
V-trough concentrator with four mirrors has been designed and constructed. Its effects on the silicon solar cell performance were studied with and with out cooling system. It was shown that the cell efficiency was increased from 11.94% to 21% with out cooling and from 13.3% to 25.55% with cooling system. The effect of a combination between Fresnel lens and V-trough concentrator was studied also. The solar cell efficiency was improved to 26.8% with out cooling and the best efficiency improvement was 30.3% with cooling system.
