SOLAR MODULE WITH CONCENTRATOR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H02S10/30 

FIELD: solar engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to solar engineering, in particular, to solar modules with concentrators and photoelectrical and thermal detectors of solar irradiation. Solar module with the concentrator contains an annular semitoroidal mirror reflector and a radiation detector with a dual working area, installed in the center of symmetry of the module in flat surface of maximum cross-section, on which solar radiation with angle of entry of rays β_0. Diameter of the radiation detector is equal to the diameter of the cross section. On flat surface of maximum cross-section, free from receiver, a circular optical beam-deflection system, transparent to radiation, is established from n = 1, 2, 3…m, where n is a counting number, annular wedges with an acute angle ψ between the surface of entrance and exit of the rays, the plane of entrance face of the rays of the deflecting circular optical system are parallel to flat surface of maximum cross-section, and the angle of entry of the rays β₀, sharp corner ψ and the refracting index n of the material of deflecting optical system are connected with the angle of emergence of the rays β₄ by the relationship indicated in the formula of invention.

EFFECT: as a result of using the invention, it becomes possible to increase the use of solar radiation with a large angle of entry of the rays with a low position of the sun above the horizon.
