Abstract
The present invention relates to a solar cell capable of maximizing a concentrating area and cell efficiency by disposing a cell in a progress direction of light, that is, in a vertical direction to a concentrating direction.
Claims7
A concentrating solar cell, comprising:
- when a progress direction of sunlight, that is, a direction in which sunlight is progressed along a concentrating direction is defined as a lower portion and an opposite direction thereto is defined as an upper portion,
- a concentrating unit 110 which has a plate shape in which a plurality of concentrating devices 111 concentrating sunlight are disposed in an array form or a matrix form;
- a light induction unit 120 which is disposed under the concentrating unit 110 and converts a direction of sunlight collected to the concentrating unit 110 into a vertical direction to the concentrating direction;
- and
- a power generation unit 130 which is disposed on one side of the light induction unit 120 and is formed of a solar cell array to receive the sunlight converted and input by the light induction unit 120 so as to produce power.
