Photoelectric cell using an improved photoelectric plate and plate array

摘要

A solar energy collector using rhombic photoelectric plates arranged in an array of connected plates and mounted in a housing can be positioned on a universal mount which is movable on a tracking servo using a position analyzer and a sun position sensor to direct the positioning of the solar collector housing. A lenticular surface on the cover of the housing can intensify the collection of solar energy within the individual photoelectric plates. A small portable tracking servo unit could be mounted on a camper or in another suitable location or the housing may be attached to a portable radio.
