SOLAR MODULE WITH FIXED ω-SHAPED CONCENTRATOR Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F24J2/42 F24J2/10 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: solar module consists of two symmetrical halves, each made from different-sized circular cylindrical reflectors with a larger radius R and a smaller reflector radius r, and a double sided photoelectric or thermal radiation receiver lying in parallel to the radiation entry plane, wherein the centre of the larger radius R of the circle of the reflector lies on the axis of symmetry of the concentrator, and centres of the smaller radii r of reflectors lie in interface planes of radii R and r at a distance r from the plane of symmetry below the plane of the radiation receiver. The radiation entry plane passes through the centre of radii R of the larger reflector and the thickness of the radiation receiver is equal to 0.2-0.5 r. The photoelectric radiation receiver can consist of a transparent sealed jacket with width of not less than 2 r and thickness of 0.2-0.5 r with solar cells with a double sided working surface inside. The radiation receiver can be made in form of a heat receiver made from a metal sheet with width of 2 r, tightly connected with a heat carrier pipe with diameter of 0.2-0.5 r.

EFFECT: invention enables to further increase concentration of radiation on a receiver.
