Abstract
A solar energy storage and generation system includes a housing mounted on a base, a solar collector installed inside the housing, at least one lens installed on the upper surface of the housing, and multiple liquid-level counterbalance devices installed separately at different corner positions inside the housing. The base includes a multi-axis adjustment device positioned corresponding to the center of gravity of the counterweights in the housing. By installing the liquid-level counterbalance devices inside the housing and the multi-axis adjustment device, the upper surface of the housing can be adjusted to face the direction of the sun, thereby achieving a sun-tracking effect.
Claims8
A solar energy storage and generation system, comprising:
- a housing mounted on a base;
- a solar collector installed inside the housing;
- and
- at least one lens installed on the upper surface of the housing,
- wherein the housing is a hollow body having multiple liquid-level counterbalance devices separately installed at different corner positions inside the housing,
- wherein the solar energy storage and generation system further comprising at least one light path mechanism correspondingly disposed between the at least one lens and the solar collector for collecting light incident on the at least one lens,
- wherein the solar collector includes an absorber connected to a thermal energy storage tank, the absorber having an inner surface with an absorbing layer,
- wherein light is reflected within the absorber and converted into thermal energy by the absorbing layer, and the thermal energy heats and evaporates a liquid stored in the thermal energy storage tank, and
- wherein the interior of the housing is a vacuum chamber.
