Abstract
For efficient and cost effective utilization Solar energy solar concentrators are vital. These are finding increasing applications in many solar energy applications such as concentrated solar photovoltaics, solar steam power generation, solar energy storage, solar cooking etc. In this brief review we discuss the various types of solar concentrators, their current applications, advantages and disadvantages. We also suggest future new applications of solar concentrators.
