SOLAR CONCENTRATOR MODULE (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01L31/42 F24J2/42 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: solar concentrator module, according to the invention, has a receiver with a double-sided working surface, placed in the plane of symmetry between the focal axis of the concentrator and the surface of the concentrator, which is made in form of mirror reflectors, characterised by that the receiver is mounted in the plane of symmetry of a cylindrical concentrator; branches of the concentrator in the cross-section are formed by circles of radius R, which is equal to the height H of the receiver with centres at points O₁ and O₂, lying on the borders of the receiver in its top edge; wherein focal axes of the branches of the cylindrical concentrator, passing through the centres of circles O₁ and O₂ parallel to the top edge of the receiver, are directed in the North-South direction and are inclined in the northern hemisphere to the horizontal plane in the southern direction at an angle φ=90°-α, where α is the latitude. In the southern hemisphere, focal axes are inclined to the horizontal surface in the northern direction at an angle φ=90°-α and in the equator zone with a latitude from 30° of the southern latitude to 30° of the northern latitude, the focal axes of the cylindrical concentrator are parallel to the horizontal surface. Another version of the solar concentrator module described above is also disclosed.

EFFECT: invention provides efficient operation of the solar module during the entire daylight in stationary mode without tracking the sun, high concentration of solar radiation, high efficiency of using solar energy n the solar concentrator module owing to removal of heat from the photodetector and use of said heat in cogeneration mode to produce electrical energy and heat.
