Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, W., Paul, M. C., Sellami, N., Mallick, T. K., & Knox, A. R. (2015, April). Unsteady optical and thermal behaviour of crossed compound parabolic concentrator with solar cell. Presented at 11th Photovoltaic Science Application and Technology (PVSAT-11), Leeds

In reality, a solar panel with concentrator is subject to variable sunlight radiation, wind speed and environmental air temperature in a day, accordingly the solar output power is changed in a wide range of 2W-13W, causing a degraded electric perform...
