SOLAR PHOTOELECTRIC MODULE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G02B5/10 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to solar engineering and design of solar modules with photoelectric and thermal solar radiation receivers and concentrators. Claimed solar photoelectric module includes a mirror concentrator representing a body of revolution with a reflecting inner surface of reflection and a photoelectric receiver (PER) made of a composite of commutated high-voltage photoelectric elements with a cooling device and located in a focal region with a mirror concentrator. Said module is additionally equipped with telescopic support, wherein the mirror concentrator is made in the form of a flexible first spheroidal cavity filled with gas under pressure, high ambient pressure, and is equipped with a pressure control device. Upper part of mirror concentrator is made of material transparent for radiation of Sun, and its lower part is made with mirror reflecting coating and fixed on telescopic support, wherein the PER is in the form of lobes facing the reflecting coating of the mirror concentrator by the face surface and is placed on the outer surface of the closed flexible second spheroidal cavity filled with the gaseous medium. Telescopic support is equipped with a mechanism for turning its axis and is made in the form of separate cylindrical cavities, placed one inside the other so that under the gas pressure their mutual movement is carried out, wherein channels of cooling and discharge of electric current are arranged on inner side of smaller cavity of telescopic support.

EFFECT: high concentration of solar energy (from hundreds of kW to GW) with high conversion efficiency, low cost of generated power, possibility of solar photovoltaic module transportation in packed form and its rapid deployment in aerospace without human participation.
