solar concentrators

Solar concentrators are devices designed to focus sunlight onto a small area to generate heat or electricity more efficiently. They use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight, increasing its intensity on a collector, which can be a solar cell or a heat-absorbing surface. This concentrated energy can then be converted into electricity or used for heating. By concentrating sunlight, these systems can produce more energy than traditional solar panels, making them effective for large-scale solar power plants. Solar concentrators can be beneficial in sunny areas where maximizing energy output is crucial.
