5. Specification of Optical Parameters and Collecting Performance On the basis of the above study, optical parameters for three different concentrator designs were selected, and their theoretical collecting performance was calculated (Table III). Mirror Design Three shapes (equilateral triangle, square and regular hexagon) were proposed and compared. These are the only three simple shapes that can be used for tiling the mirror. The triangle was selected mainly because the supporting structure is the simplest of the three. The size of each mirror was determined considering manufactur-
