FIBER COMPOSITE SOLAR PANEL FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND HEAT COLLECTION

摘要

A building integrated photovoltaic and heat (BIPVAH) solar panel system whereby solar panels are layered into a laminate with a top photovoltaic composite layer, a middle heat exchanging fiber composite frame, and a bottom fiber composite layer. These three layers in turn form a composite structure for a strong and lightweight structure for the purposes of electricity and heat generation. The panels are strong and lightweight so as to provide a solution for shading structures such as awning, and a flower like solar tracking system that can close at night and under adverse climate conditions, etc.
