Parameters for data collection	Aperture width (Wapr) and height (H) of low concentration compound parabolic concentrator (CPC)-based photovoltaic system.
Description of data collection	The receiver width (Wrec) and acceptance half-angle (ϴa) were varied over a specified range, and the corresponding values of the aperture width (Wapr) and CPC height (H) were determined using MATLAB. In addition, the synergistic impact of control factors on the design responses was analyzed using the response surface modeling approach based on face-centered central composite design.
