Optical efficiency study of PV crossed compound parabolic concentrator (2012)
Journal Article
Sellami, N., & Mallick, T. K. (2013). Optical efficiency study of PV crossed compound parabolic concentrator. Applied Energy, 102, 868-876. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2012.08.052

Static solar concentrators present a solution to the challenge of reducing the cost of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) by reducing the area of solar cells. In this study a 3-D ray trace code has been developed using MATLAB in order to determi... Read More about Optical efficiency study of PV crossed compound parabolic concentrator.

Design of nonimaging static solar concentrator for window integrated photovoltaic (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sellami, N., & Mallick, T. K. (2012). Design of nonimaging static solar concentrator for window integrated photovoltaic. In AIP Conference Proceedings (106-109). https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4753845

The focus of this research is to develop a solar concentrator for the purpose of building integration which is compact, static and, at the same time, able to collect maximum solar energy. The novel concentrator is designed to be used in Window Integr... Read More about Design of nonimaging static solar concentrator for window integrated photovoltaic.

Optical characterisation of 3-D static solar concentrator (2012)

The focus of this research is to develop a solar concentrator which is compact, static and, at the same time, able to collect maximum solar energy. A novel geometry of a 3-D static concentrator has been designed and coined the Square Elliptical Hyper... Read More about Optical characterisation of 3-D static solar concentrator.

Performance analysis of a reflective 3D crossed compound parabolic concentrating photovoltaic system for building façade integration (2012)
Journal Article
Mammo, E. D., Sellami, N., & Mallick, T. K. (2013). Performance analysis of a reflective 3D crossed compound parabolic concentrating photovoltaic system for building façade integration. Progress in Photovoltaics, 21(5), 1095-1103. https://doi.org/10.1002

A reflective 3D crossed compound parabolic-based photovoltaic module (3D CCPC PV) was designed and its electrical and optical performance was analyzed for building integrated photovoltaic applications. A maximum power concentration of 3.0× was achiev...
