CONCENTRATOR SOLAR PANEL Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC H01L31/54 H02S20/00 

FIELD: solar energy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to solar energy and can be used in space concentrating solar power plants based on a spacecraft. The concentrator solar battery includes a base, parabolic-cylindrical concentrators with a mirror inner reflection surface mounted on the base, whose cylindrical guides are parallel to the base and to each other, linear chains of photovoltaic converters installed on the upper edge of the rear side of each subsequent concentrator in the focal line of each previous concentrator. The top of each parabolic-cylindrical concentrator is attached to the base by means of the first cylindrical hinge parallel to the cylindrical guide of the parabolic-cylindrical concentrator. Opposite lateral edges of each parabolic-cylindrical concentrator are connected by means of the second cylindrical hinge to the upper ends of two levers, the lower ends of which are connected to the base by means of the first cylindrical hinge of the previous concentrator. The length of the levers is equal to the distance between the first and second cylindrical hinges of the parabolic trough hub. The base is made in the form of a sectional scissor-type pantograph with the number of sections equal to twice the number of parabolic-cylindrical concentrators.

EFFECT: reducing the mass-dimensional parameters of the concentrator solar battery due to the efficient use of the entire area while providing the possibility of folding the battery in a non-operating transport state.
