Nonimaging PVT collector and some thoughts on nuclear power

Image
  To convert solar energy into electricity that will be later used to produce ammonia ( electrolyzing water and Haber–Bosch process ) I propose that photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collectors (PVT) with compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) mounted on dual axis trackers should be used. cpc_c.ods is my attempt to describe basic parameters of CPC with high-school math (to achieve best results ray-tracing and realistic models of irradiance at various conditions should actually be used).
