Abstract: Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) technology is becoming one of the core photovoltaic (PV) technologies over past few decades as
it increases the output of PV module. Different models of CPV technology are available in literature but there is still room for a
simple system that can easily be implemented. In this paper, a CPV system is presented which is the integration of PV module
and compound parabolic concentrator (CPC). Proposed system is experimentally investigated in this research work to describe
the electrical performance. Experimental results are measured (without tracking the sun) in winter season using CPC of
concentration ratio (C) 3.3, where it is observed that electrical power of proposed system increases 29.7 % at maximum as
compared to PV module, which is 6.7 % more than that of published results. This work can be used to increase the output
electrical power of PV modules which are already installed for domestic and commercial purposes.
