Abstract
Various configurations of Photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems were investigated and their performances compared to direct solar PV conversion. The systems involved use of fiber optic, lens, filter, and PV with and without concentrator. The use of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) bundle for light transmission proved to be the most efficient, but also the most expensive. However, a fresnel concentrator with an infrared heat removal filter was the most affordable. The current price of fiber optic for light transport, though interesting, renders them economically not viable for energy conversion.
