Abstract
►Reflectors increase total energy for rows of fixed collectors at no extra footprint. ► Appropriate orientation increases total energy but not peak energy collection rate. ► To optimize for geographic and climatic conditions, computer simulation is essential. ► Increase in cost much smaller than the additional energy collection capacity.
