SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H01L31/42 B64G1/44 

FIELD: solar photovoltaic generators.

SUBSTANCE: solar photovoltaic generator contains a solar battery (2) installed on the upper part of the wheeled vehicle platform (1) and a device for deploying the solar battery from the initial compact transport position. Two coaxial wheels (3, 5) of the vehicle (1) are made leading with the help of independent electric drives installed on them, the solar battery (2) with the sensor (17) of the position of the Sun is made in the form of a part of a cylindrical surface facing the concave surface to the wheeled vehicle (1), with long sides (7, 8) parallel to the axis of the cylinder forming a cylindrical surface and installed in planes perpendicular to the common axis of the drive wheels (3, 5). The distance d between the long sides (7, 8) of the solar battery (2) is equal to (0.90-0.95)⋅L, where L is the width of the convex surface of the solar battery (2). The edges of one short side (9) of the solar battery (2) are connected by means of two cylindrical hinges (12, 13) with a rod (11) parallel to the common axis of the driving wheels (3, 5) and attached to the edge of the vehicle platform (1). The device (14) for deploying the solar battery from the initial compact transport position is made in the form of a spring mechanism installed between the platform of the vehicle (1) and the rod (11) and the fixator for the opening angle of the solar battery (2), equal to the selenographic latitude of the estimated landing site of the photoelectric generator on the Moon. A radio receiver (18) is installed inside the vehicle platform (1) for remote control of the photoelectric generator and its route.

EFFECT: solar photoelectric generator, made according to the invention, provides a high efficiency of solar radiation conversion during the lunar day and the movement of the photoelectric generator on the surface of the Moon in remote control mode.
