SOLAR PHOTOELECTRIC MODULE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: solar engineering. SUBSTANCE: photoelectric module with solar concentrator has two symmetrical parts 1, 2 each incorporating Fresnel lens 3,4 and hyperbolic-section cylindrical reflector 5,6 that has two optical focuses in focal plane 7,8; one focus of hyperbola is aligned with that of Fresnel lens and other focus is between lens 3,4 and reflector 5,6; it also has radiation detector 9 installed in symmetry plane of module; focal planes of both parts of module are located past that of entire module along sun rays; radiation detector is built up of solar cells distinguished by double-ended photosensitivity. EFFECT: improved uniformity of solar cell illumination which raises module efficiency. 1 dwg
