Abstract :
Data of direct beam radiation and irradiance are very scarce, but such information is required to predict the performance and productivity of PV concentrators. These systems seem to reach the market and investors requires information on its productivity. In this paper the energy produced by two well modelled C-systems (linear Euclides and classic Point focus) using actual and calculated direct beam irradiance distribution data are compared
