Abstract :
We present an innovative high efficiency, low cost solar system that can be easily adapted for commercial applications. The solar system separates the wavelengths and concentrates the different wavelengths using one inexpensive Fresnel lens. This allows the specific solar cells to have concentrated light for a specific region of the spectrum which allows for the solar cell to be optimized for that region of the spectrum.
