PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic solar energy generator that raises the efficiency of power generation by confining visible light in a module, and recovers infrared light as thermal energy.SOLUTION: The organic solar energy generator includes transparent electrodes 2 and 3, a photoelectric conversion element 4, a triangular pipe 5, and reflective films 6 and 7. Circulating water 8 filling the triangular pipe 5 functions as a prism that reflects visible light many times inside the energy generator to improve the efficiency of photoelectric conversion. The circulating water 8 absorbs infrared light to recover thermal energy, thereby the total efficiency of using solar energy is improved and a temperature increase at the photoelectric conversion element 4 is suppressed. |
