Solar energy collection system uses photovoltaic cells to generate electricity and also provides heating of a fluid

摘要

The solar energy collector system has an entry plate [24] that has a Fresnel lens profile [22] that concentrates the rays of the sun [26] onto a series of photovoltaic cells [20]. The cells are mounted on a base plate that transmits heat energy to a fluid flow based system [40] and so raises the temperature.
