Pyramid lenses catch light from any angle to boost solar cell efficiency Original

|
By Michael Irving Verified, Nina Vaidya
| New Atlas Verified
Solar cells are an increasingly important source of renewable energy, but there’s still room for improvement. Stanford engineers have now developed a pyramid-shaped lens that can focus sunlight from any angle onto a solar cell, keeping it collecting power from sunrise to sunset. Solar cells work best in direct sunlight, which means many of them might only have a few good hours of energy generation in them per day.

Immersion graded index optics: theory, design, and prototypes - Microsystems & Nanoengineering

|
By Olav Solgaard, Nina Vaidya
| Nature Verified
Abstract Immersion optics enable creation of systems with improved optical concentration and coupling by taking advantage of the fact that the luminance of light is proportional to the square of the refractive index in a lossless optical system. Immersion graded index optical concentrators, that do not need to track the source, are described in terms of theory, simulations, and experiments.
