Sea shell fixed nonimaging CPC type reflector trough building integrated
Surrounding building elements can to some extent protect “sea shell” augmented evacuated glass tube collectors from flying debris during extreme windstorms.
CPC computer model references:
A Kreith and Kreider mathematical computer model accurately predicted CPC performance of CPC field testing at Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, c1975 (1).
Hour-to-hour annual computer simulation modeling of ± 35 deg. CPCs with ±10 deg. misalignment had less than 3% loss for Phoenix, Boston and Miami (3).
