The solar energy generator operates as a hybrid system in which energy is recovered by a combination of photo electrical action combined with the heating of a fluid such as water. The system can be mounted on a building and the water is a circulated around a flexible tube that receives direct heating by the sun.An inner tube carries a fluid with suspended magnetic particles that due to movement induces a current in a coil surrounding the tube. Located at the rear of the tube system is a series of layers of photo electrical elements that receive solar energy by transmission and reflection.
