SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEM

摘要

A device for generating solar electrical energy generally includes an optic for focusing solar radiation, a collimating optic, a semi-conductor optical gates wedge disposed near the focal point of the collimation optic for dispersing incident solar radiation between a plurality of adjacent wavelength bands, an array of photovoltaic cells, each cell being formed from a material for absorbing and converting a corresponding wavelength band dispersed by the wedge into the photovoltaic energy, and a refracting optic disposed between the wedge and the array for directing separated wavelength bands onto corresponding photovoltaic cells.
