Abstract
The two main components of the system under development are: (1) PV modules with close-packed cells for "stacking" into fully active receivers of any scale; and (2) parabolic dish concentrator system with supports and interface. The advantages of such a system are outlined for GaAs and Si receivers. The system requirements and performance are discussed
