Smart solar concentrators for building integrated photovoltaic façades

In this study a novel static concentrating photovoltaic (PV) system, suitable for use in windows or glazing façades, has been designed. The developed smart Concentrating PV (CPV) system is lightweight, low cost and able to generate electricity. Additionally, this system automatically responds to cli...
