SOLAR MODULE WITH CONCENTRATOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering; solar photoelectric modules for heat and power generation. SUBSTANCE: solar module has radiation input surface for concentrator made in the form of two linearly focusing parabolic-and-cylindrical mirror reflectors whose tops are joined with circle-and-cylinder reflector; it also has radiation detector with strip of commutated photoelectric solar cells having two-sided working surface; novelty is that module incorporates radiation detector in transparent envelope that has one more additional strip; both strips are disposed one on top of other in concentrator symmetry plane; one of strips in the form of solar cells is placed between focal line and circle-and-cylinder reflector; other strip in the form of metal plate is located between focal line and radiation input surface and is connected to coolant tube; both strips are mounted in transparent envelope filled with transparent liquid and tightly joined with coolant tube. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of cooling system for solar cells. 1 cl, 1 dwg
