  Explains the basic practical applications of the techniques of nonimaging optics to solar energy collection and concentration. The formalism for designing a wide variety of concentrator types is presented. Both advantages and limitations of the approach are reviewed. Practical and economic aspects of concentrator design for both thermal and photovoltaic applications are discussed as well.
