A conceptual design study of solar concentrators was carried out and mirror segment models were fabricated and tested. Three kinds of configurations (1.5 kWe, 10 kWe, 15 kWe) were studied. Analysis of the collector efficiencies, standard errors and the optical system were performed. Based on this, we formulated system specifications and design parameters to minimize optical errors.
