BASIC TYPES OF CONCENTRATORS 457<br />

sky. For example, it will never be due north at zero-degree elevation to the horizon.<br />

This means that the ability of a flat-plate module to receive light from every direction is<br />

somewhat wasted. It can be seen in the section on concentrator optics that the maximum<br />

attainable concentration is related to the angular regions where the system can accept light<br />

in such a manner that if it can accept a fraction f of the diffuse light falling on it from<br />

all directions, then the maximum possible concentration is 1/f . This relation is further<br />

enhanced by a factor of n 2 if the cell is immersed in a dielectric of index of refraction n.<br />

Since it is possible to build cells that can receive light from both sides, so-called bifacial<br />

cells, another factor of 2 is available by using bifacial cells. The sum result of these<br />
