a video on YouTube tells that "2 type clear epoxy" is used to make the lens.
i am not sure about it. i am also searching on it. its revolutionary technology. the day solar concentrators are cheap & available in the market, that day , the factories, restaurants, households , everything will change.
A Fresnel lens solar concentrator works by focusing sunlight onto a smaller area, increasing the intensity of the light and therefore the amount of energy collected. This concentrated light is then directed onto a solar cell, which converts it into electricity more efficiently than if the sunlight was spread out over a larger area. This helps enhance the overall efficiency of solar energy collection.

The Scheffler solar concentrator is a device that is used to focus sunlight onto a stationary target.
A concentrator is often painted silver to enhance its efficiency in reflecting sunlight. The reflective surface helps to maximize the amount of solar energy captured, improving the performance of solar thermal systems. Additionally, the silver color can help to reduce heat absorption, keeping the concentrator cooler and further optimizing energy collection.
The power produced by the application of solar energy is called solar thermal power. It has solar collectors, concentrator, heat exchanger, turbine, generator, condenser unit
Solar Ballon is designed to trap solar energy using an inflatable plastic thin film ballon called a solar concentrator. It can trap 500 watt to 1 kilowatt of solar energy.

A solar concentrator, such as a parabolic trough or a dish reflector, is used to focus solar energy onto a small area. This concentrates the sunlight, increasing the temperature at that focal point for applications like solar power generation or heating.
