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

FIELD: solar engineering for heat and power generation. SUBSTANCE: concentrator is made in the form of focusing prism of optically transparent material, has module working surface and reversing reflection face forming acute dihedral angle and photoconverters mounted at certain angle to these faces and to surfaces. Reflecting device is made in the form of mirror and mounted in a spaced relation to focusing prism. The latter and reflecting device are made in the form of symmetrical truncated pyramids. Reversing-zero pyramidal and conical reflector is placed between reflecting device and photoconverter. Photoconverters are placed on receiver tube surface. Module mass and cost are reduced by 30-50%. EFFECT: reduced mass and cost of module. 7 cl, 4 dwg
