Two stages optical concentrators for concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) are studied both experimentally and theoretically. They are composed of a Fresnel lens made of PMMA and coupled to two different secondary optical elements (SOEs) types: a pyramid and a cone made of fused silica. Results, in terms of optical efficiency and acceptance angle, show that the pyramid-type is the best choice for the secondary optical element.
