In this work it is shown the first characterization of holographic solar concentrators recorded in Biophotopol - one of the greenest photopolymers. Biophotopol is an acrylate-based and water-soluble photopolymer with good recycling properties. The composition of this photopolymer and their thickness are easily changeable, which implies an important advantage vs. others commercialized photopolymers. Good diffraction efficiency and wide acceptance angles are achieved on phase volume transmission holograms by using an optimized composition and thin layers. A curing stage with a white incoherent light has been performed to obtain high temporal stability together with a good diffraction efficiency. Finally, the performance of the holographic lenses as holographic solar concentrators has been evaluated with an electronic setup connected to a polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell and a high intensity solar simulator emitting a standard solar spectrum (AM1.5G).
