A concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system for solar power generation comprising an array of receiving elements 10 in a panel with optical receiving components designed to accept light from an angle offset from the normal optical axis of the placement of the panel, whereby the offset angle is approximately equal to the difference in the mean position of the sun, and the installed angle of the panel, thereby enabling the elements to effectively point directly at the sun even if the angle of the sun is outside the limited angular rotation of the solar tracking system. The receiving element 10 may be comprised of a Fresnel lens whereby the lens may also be configured to eliminate angular surface discontinuity. |
