Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020128955A1] Described is a solar concentrator for photovoltaic systems, which is equipped with a front input surface (7), substantially flat and transparent to the solar radiation (100), a concave mirror (1), positioned behind the front input surface (7) for receiving, reflecting and concentrating the solar radiation (100), and a refractive optical element (2) having in turn a refractive surface (23) exposed to the solar radiation reflected by the concave mirror (1), a reflective surface (21) exposed to the solar radiation refracted from the refractive surface (23), and a light guide (22) for guiding the concentrated solar radiation (101), reflected by the reflective surface (21) towards at least one photovoltaic receiver (5); the refractive optical element (2) is made in a single integrated block and comprises mechanical alignment elements (8) between the refractive optical element (2) and the concave mirror (1) to ensure the superposing and the parallelism between the optical axes of the two components.
