AB  - A simulation algorithm has been developed and geometric parameters of plane-focusing lenses for concentrator solar energy systems with Si photoconverters have been calculated. These lenses form a homogeneous image in the focal plane, so they are promising for use in such systems and allow minimizing thermal and electrical losses in solar modules caused by non-uniform illumination of the photoconverter surface. A technology of manufacturing stamp-matrixes by diamond microcutting has been developed. Based on the simulation results, a number of plane-focusing lens samples have been formed by thermopressing technique using metal matrices. The manufactured samples of square-shaped specialized transforming microprismatic structures have been experimentally investigated using a collimated laser beam.
