SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTION APPARATUS

摘要

A solar ray collection apparatus includes a capsule and a solar ray collector housed in the capsule. The solar ray collector is controlled to chase the sun in response to an output of a photodetector which may be located inside or outside the capsule. The capsule comprises a number of interconnected transparent members which are inclined by a specific angle which effects the most efficient collection of the solar energy at any position of the sun. The apparatus is excellent in mechanical strength and resistivity to wind due to unique configuration of each transparent member.
