SOLAR PHOTOELECTRIC MODULE WITH CONCENTRATOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: solar engineering for heat and power generation. SUBSTANCE: module has concentrator in the form of cylindrical focline with radiation output surface mounting optical surface of optically transparent prism with photoconverter on its output surface; novelty is that focline and prism have common output radiation surface, side surfaces of prism have symmetrical bend with different angles β₁, β₂ at apexes of triangle forming its side surfaces, with β₂ > β₁. EFFECT: enhanced total efficiency, increased specific power generation and reduced cost. 1 cl, 2 dwg
