Can somebody list some open-source programs which can be used for performing optical analysis of solar concentrating collectors based on ray-tracing methods?
User-friendliness and good help on how-tos will be a plus.
I have seen some people used POV ray program for analyzing the distribution of light.

Just found PVTrace!

More recent is opticspy, a Python module for ray tracing. Seems promising.
