Commercially viable concentrating photovoltaic systems are a difficult blend of science and practicality, especially as the complete product lifecycle must be addressed. Optical choices are key: they set the stage for the many compromises that must be made, for better or for worse. This talk will outline SolFocus' experience in bringing one approach to commercial reality, and the important role the company's consulting professors played.
