The present invention provides a V-trough solar concentrator photovoltaic system having multiple photovoltaic panels, more specifically the laying out of the panels in the form of long rows with overall aspect ratio > 8 to boost the electrical energy output over a day during February and May by as much as 100% and 86%, respectively, without recourse to any tracking, and only through seasonal adjustments of the reflector angles following computational methods. The unit is also suitably equipped with metal embedded paraffin waxes to self limit the temperature rise in this configuration. Using the same number of PV panels, a higher output of desalinated RO water is made with the help of the present invention.
