PHOTOELECTRIC MODULE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: solar power engineering. SUBSTANCE: module is, essentially, solar concentrator in the form of truncated cone whose larger side functions as beam input surface and smaller side carrier carries solar cell (photoelectric converter), and basic conical reflecting surface has top angle formed by conical surface and by surface parallel to beam input surface. Basic conical surface mounts set of additional conical reflecting surfaces with different top angles set on basic surface. Conical surfaces can be made of metal with internal reflecting layer, and beam input surface can be made of glass; space between them can be filled with optically transparent liquid capable of flowing from top part of concentrator to its bottom part. EFFECT: enlarged effective beam input surface improved radiation concentration and power module. 2 cl, 1 dwg
