Abstract Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) is a dawn technology in the field of photovoltaic that helps in escalating the effective use of solar energy. Nowadays, applications of photovoltaic solar cells are catching attention due to the better utilization of solar energy. A huge amount of solar energy is received by the earth from the sun, but a barrier to the large-scale use of photovoltaic solar cells is their higher initial cost and lower conversion compared to other non-renewable energy systems. Concentrated Photovoltaics (CPV) is one of the vital tools that focus solar radiation on the small area of solar cells using optical devices to maximize solar to thermal conversion. Low cost, high efficiency, and climate-friendly are the main advantages of concentrated photovoltaics. The review study presents the outlook of work conducted worldwide on the different types of concentrated photovoltaics. In addition, the effect of various performance affecting parameters, challenges, and recent progres
