There are two ways to concentrate solar radiation: Reflection and Refraction.
In both cases, there are losses associated with imperfections in the surfaces (of mirrors in one and of lenses in the other). These imperfections result in two sources of inefficiency:
After the remaining radiation hits its target, there will also be energy conversion inefficiencies due to electrical and mechanical losses.
