Abstract: Two flat linear Fresnel lenses and two absorbers connected in series. Tracking system is constructed so that it tracks the sun in two directions. Thermal and optical losses are introduced. The thermal efficiency of the first lens is higher than the second lens and reaches 0.65. The FLFL all-day collector efficiency reaches 0.58 and it varies depending on weather condition.
