Abstract
► Design of a solar parabolic dish concentrator with polyester membrane facets. ► Facet focusing is accomplished by applying small vacuum beneath the membranes. ► 8000× Concentration at 90% interception factor predicted by Monte Carlo ray-tracing. ► Simulation results are corroborated by photogrammetric measurements.
