SOLAR MODULE WITH CONCENTRATOR (ALTERNATIVES) Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: solar engineering for electrical energy and heat generation. SUBSTANCE: module has reflector built up of two parts of different size which are separated by symmetry plane crossing top and focal axis of reflector. Main mirror reflector is made in the form of one branch of parabolic-cylindrical reflector and is provided with second semi- cylindrical mirror reflector; one edge of radiation detector bandwidth having bilateral effective surface is aligned with focal axis of mirror reflector and its opposite edge is located on branch of parabolic- cylindrical reflector; detector bandwidth equals radius of second mirror reflector. Solar module with concentrator may be mounted on balcony or under transparent roof of building. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of solar energy utilization and coefficient of concentration. 32 cl, 9 dwg
