Concentration photovoltaic and heating apparatus

摘要

A hybrid photovoltaic and heating apparatus including a printed circuit board (PCB) 110, a power generating module 120a, the module 120a comprising a solar chip 122 and a Fresnel lens 124; a heat conducting plate 130 and a heat conducting pipe 140. The Fresnel lens 124 is configured to focus light onto the solar chip 122 to provide photovoltaic electricity generation. The excess heat produced by the concentrated light is then channeled through the PCB 110 to the heat conductive plate 130 and the heat conductive pipe 140. The heat transfer pipe may be connected to a storage tank 150, which stores the heat transfer fluid. The heat conducting pipe may contain water as the heat transfer fluid.
