<p>An integrated solar concentrator assembly (10) which is built to allow an opposing criss-cross optics pattern, creating a more compact, structurally sound unit having a nearly perpendicular light path into a mixing optic (32). This improves optical efficiency and allows for the mixing optic (32) to have a flat outer surface, thereby improving manufacturability. This criss-cross optical pattern also allows the opposite mirror structure to be used to support the solar receiver components, eliminating additional brackets. The configuration of the integrated solar concentrator assembly (10) allows frame mounts to be placed on the outboard corners of the assembly, improving the inherent aim accuracy, as well as simplifying installation.</p> |
