Abstract

Concentration of sun rays offers an attractive approach to increasing the efficiency of transformation of solar energy into electricity. Different types of sun concentrator systems are used at present. In this paper a Fresnel lens-based photovoltaic concentrator with the thermo-siphon type water cooling system is investigated. The temperatures at different points of the cooling system are measured. It is shown, that the proposed type of hybrid system can be successfully used.
