SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS USING EXTERNAL REFLECTORS

摘要

A concentrating photovoltaic system includes a condenser system and photovoltaic modules. The condenser system includes a quasi-Fresnel concave lens coated with an antireflection film and a reflector coated with a reflective film. The reflector is located between the quasi-Fresnel concave lens and the PV modules. A high refractive index optical resin is filled between the quasi-Fresnel concave lens and the photovoltaic modules. The quasi-Fresnel concave lens has a flat or hemispherical structure; the reflector can be placed horizontally, or at an angle to form a light condensing funnel.
