METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONVERTING ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING OBLIQUE REFLECTORS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01L31/42 F24J2/16 

FIELD: solar power engineering; solar-electric power plants for direct solar-to-electric energy conversion.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method depends on reception of direct radiation from object by solar panels in-line disposed on base and radiation re-reflected from interline pairs of flat oblique reflectors at the same time optimizing electromagnetic radiation reception conditions while object is moving; this optimization is effected when base is motionless by synchronously reducing/enhancing angle of inclination of solar panels of first like planar reflectors in each interline pair to receiving plane at the same time synchronously enhancing/reducing mentioned angles of inclination of second like planar reflectors in each interline pair. In addition, angles of inclination of like planar reflectors in each pair are enhanced/reduced by reducing/enhancing width of its first like planar reflectors at the same time enhancing/reducing width of its second like planar reflectors with total width of first and second like planar reflectors in each interline pair being retained. Device for electromagnetic radiation conversion and method for mounting oblique reflectors incorporated in this device are given in invention specification.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of solar-to-electric energy conversion by minimizing electric energy loss in monitoring electromagnetic radiation source.
