COMBINED SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC OPTICAL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Solar photovoltaic optical methods and systems for generating electricity from solar radiation, including at least one primary mirror adapted to receive incident solar radiation, the primary mirror disposed at least one of a) along a side of a photovoltaic panel and b) at a corner of the photovoltaic panel; and a secondary mirror disposed in at least one of a vicinity of a focal point focal, a vicinity of a focal line; and a vicinity of a focal plane of the primary mirror, the secondary mirror adapted to highly concentrate reflected solar radiation received from the primary mirror and to convey the highly concentrated solar radiation as homogenously concentrated solar radiation to the photovoltaic panel; and the photovoltaic panel for generating electricity from both the homogenously concentrated solar radiation received from the secondary mirrors and direct solar radiation received from the sun.
