SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM HAVING LOUVERS WITH SOLAR CELLS AND FLUID CONDUIT ON REAR SURFACE TO RECIEVE CONCENTRATED LIGHT FROM THE CONCAVE REFLECTIVE SURFACE OF A NEIGHBORING LOUVER

摘要

591532 A solar energy conversion system is disclosed. The system includes louvers or slats (1020) with a first bottom surface (82) configured to receive solar cells and a fluid conduit in thermal contact with the surface. The fluid conduit comprises fluid entry and exit ends that also serve as pivots for the louver to revolve around its long axis. A second top surface of the louver comprises a concave reflective curvature to focus light (93) onto solar cells of a second neighbouring louver when installed.
