SOLAR MODULE WITH CONCENTRATOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: solar power engineering; solar power module with concentrators for generation of electric power and heat. SUBSTANCE: solar module includes flat protective transparent guard; normal to surface of this guard lies in irrational plane; radiation receiver made in form of strip is mounted on protective transparent guard in focus of linear focusing concentrator which is made in form of unsymmetrical reflector consisting of two parts having different sizes which are separated by plane of symmetry passing through vertex and focal axis of reflector; larger part of reflector is made in form of half of parabolic- cylindrical reflector and smaller part is made in form of circular cylindrical reflector at radius equal to distance between focal axis and vertex of parabolic-cylindrical reflector; focal axis is shifted towards one of sides of protective guard in parallel with its base; it coincides with edge of radiation receiver strip. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of use of solar energy; low cost of electric power and heat; enhanced efficiency of solar units built in fronts and roofs of buildings. 17 cl, 8 dwg
