The past several years have seen new developments in tracking-integrated solar concentrators, including new concepts in optics design and tracking methods, increasing clarity regarding high-value target applications, improved performance modeling methods and the development of pre-commercial tracking-integrated concentrator photovoltaic modules. We survey these recent developments and also present preliminary measurements of a tracking-integrated concentrator photovoltaic module under outdoor conditions in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. We incorporate the data into a semi-empirical model to estimate annual energy yields and assess its technical and economic potential relative to competing technologies.
