Can someone (SomoaPower?) give me some design information on the Poulek style solar concentrator? See http://www.fieldlines.com/story/2007/3/21/9507/14728 for an example.
Specifically, how do you size the reflector area and choose the angle of tilt for the reflectors? I can't find this information anywhere at all including here on Fieldlines.
Thanks!
Basic info... no angles sizes tho...http://www.solar-trackers.com/concentrator2.htm

even more info from the poulek websitehttp://www.solar-trackers.com/paper.pdf
paulp.s.i typed poulek solar concentrator into google, the links are from the first few results... you could try googling for ridge concentrator too
This yields a concentration ratio of <1.5.
Other configurations are possible.
