Concentrator uses off-axis geometry to achieve efficient uniform illumination of photovoltaic cells. Primary reflector is parabolic cylinder and therefore readily adaptable to rolling up for transport and unrolling for deployment. Foldable cylindrical structure has potiential for both terrestrial and space applications.
