Convex lens focuses solar energy for power generation

A magnifying glass, also known as a convex lens, works by converging light rays to a single focal point, intensifying the energy contained within those rays. . Similarly, a lens in a photovoltaic system focuses sunlight onto a small, high-efficiency solar cell. That's where convex lens solar power generation comes in - but does this bright idea actually work in practice? Convex lenses magnify light intensity through dioptric concentration, but early. . In this paper, a Convex lens CSP prototype is design and manufactured using six Convex lens of dia. The panel is a Rectangular box of size 14. 5cms x 21cms x 70cms made of plywood of 8 mm thickness. The heat-gathering solar generating set comprises a heat absorber, a steam turbine, an electric generator and the convex lens which can directionally trace focusing light energy of sun, and. .
