PARC mini-solar concentrators

This is an array of mini-solar concentrators. Now, solar concentrators measure around 6 inches across. By reducing it to 1 inch across, the concentrators can be made on a single substrate, rather than individually. This cuts down costs.

PARC worked with SolFocus, a rapidly growing solar concentrator company, to develop this. SolFocus will adopt it for their next generation of concentrators.
