Abstract
A three-dimensional type concentrating solar cell system without sun-tracing apparatus is provided. The system comprises a plurality of sphere-like concentrators and a plurality of photovoltaic cell. The sphere-like concentrators are arranged to form a curved surface. There is no need for the system to trace the light source, such as the sun. The present invention can provide sufficient electric power for user's applications.
Claims23
A three-dimensional type concentrating solar cell system, comprising:
- a plurality of sphere-like concentrators for concentrating a plurality of light rays respectively, wherein said sphere-like concentrators are arranged side by side to form a curved surface;
- a plurality of photovoltaic cells, wherein each of said photovoltaic cells is for receiving each of the concentrated light rays from said sphere-like concentrators, and is for transferring each of the concentrated light rays into electric power.
A three-dimensional type concentrating solar cell system, comprising:
- a plurality of rows of sphere-like concentrators for concentrating a plurality of light rays respectively, wherein the sphere-like concentrators in each of said rows are arranged side by side to form a curved line, and wherein said curved lines of sphere-like concentrators are arranged side by side to form a curve surface;
- and
- a plurality of photovoltaic cells, wherein each of said photovoltaic cells is for receiving each of the concentrated light rays from said sphere-like concentrators, and is for transferring each of the concentrated light rays into electric power.
A three-dimensional type concentrating solar cell system, comprising:
- a plurality of rows of sphere-like concentrators for concentrating a plurality of light rays respectively, wherein the sphere-like concentrators in each of said rows are arranged side by side to form a linear line, and wherein said linear lines of sphere-like concentrators are arranged side by side to form at least one part of a cylindrical surface;
- and
- a plurality of photovoltaic cells, wherein each of said photovoltaic cells is for receiving each of the concentrated light rays from said sphere-like concentrators, and is for transferring each of the concentrated light rays into electric power.
