Paper Abstract
The success of solar systems, such as photovoltaic and sunlight illumination systems, is principally determined
by the primary optical element used as collector. On this subject, the design of a segmented nonimaging Fresnel
lens is presented; this collector is formed by the conjunction of different zones for solar collection, where every
zone is made of a nonimaging Fresnel lens that collects a specific angular range of sunlight, according to the solar
radiation of the northeast received in Mexico. Every collector section focus in a common area. The different
zones are designed considering the apparent solar movement due to the daytime and the seasonal displacement
over the year. The collector total performance is presented, including spatial and angular distribution. The
collector presents an average performance over 80%, with an acceptance half-angle of 120°, and a collection area
similar to that in a collector with 45° of acceptance half-angle.
