Re: Co01/02
The Co01 (PMMA) and Co02 (Silicone-On-Glass) are Fresnel lens parquets intended for solar
photovoltaic concentration. The optical and mechanical designs are results of a decade of experience in
concentrated phtovoltaic (CPV) project. The designs are not proprietary.

Table 2: Optical performance for a nonimaging Fresnel lens with a half-egg glass secondary for a range
of acceptance half-angles combined with solar spectral spectrum and solar angle. The optical efficiency
(eff ) is the ratio of the optical power on the target to the incident power on the Fresnel lens. The
irradiance uniformity (uni) is the ratio of the maximum irradiance to the average irradiance
