MULTIPLE REFLECTOR CONCENTRATOR SOLAR ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a solar electric power system that utilizes multiple reflectors (5, 6, 8) to concentrate sun light onto a panel of photovoltaic (PV) cells (3). The power system, consisting of multiple reflectors, mounted PV cells (3), and a heat dissipation component (9), is mounted on a tracker that keeps the system directed to the sun. A noteworthy feature of this system is its designed-in capability of being retrofitted with advanced reflectors, PV components, and heat dissipation components during the system's multi-year operating life. The common axes design feature of the system allows for low cost materials and manufacturing concepts. The system can operate on either a single or a dual axis tracker with active or passive cooling.
