Solargons, Solar Stratovases, Solarhedrons, and Other Light Concentrators

Authors: Warren D. Smith

We invent the "solarhedron," "solargon," and "solar stratovase" solar concentrator designs which will uniformly illuminate a flat solar cell with F(k)2, F(k), and k suns worth of radiation respectively, for any desired integer k≥1, where F(k)≥1 is a certain roughly-linearly-increasing function apparently obeying 2k-2.6≤F(k)≤2k-1. We prove the solargon and stratovase both enjoy optimal efficiency for any fixed mirror-reflectivity value in (0, 1].
