SOLAR PHOTOELECTRIC MODULE WITH ENERGY CONCENTRATOR (OPTIONS) Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: solar-electric power engineering. SUBSTANCE: optical element is energy concentrator made of material transparent for sun rays in the form of full-reflection prism 1; ray entrance face 3 is larger rectangular base of prism 1 and ray exit face 4 is smaller circular base of prism which mounts photoelectric converter 5 that follows shape of exit face 4. Photoelectric converter 5 may be optionally designed to possess double-ended sensitivity and may be mounted to abut against exit face 4 of additional concentrator on its second side. EFFECT: improved concentration of sun rays in and reduced cost of photoelectric module. 2 cl, 3 dwg
