Abstract
The invention relates to an energy convertor/concentrator system (4) for directly converting solar energy into electric and/or thermal energy, containing at least one energy convertor. The aim of the invention is to provide at least one concentrating optic (5) for concentrating incident solar light (8) onto an absorber module (7).
Claims29
An energy converter/concentrator system for directly converting solar energy to electrical and/or thermal energy comprising:
- at least one energy converter;
- at least one concentrating optic for concentrating incident sunlight onto a solar cell or onto an absorber module;
- at least one tracking system that is controlled to receive concentrated sunlight moving with the course of the sun and that is associated with the module;
- and
- a support carrying the module and pivotal about the optic such that the module is adjustable with respect to the focal-point travel or sun height.
(canceled)
A photovoltaic concentrator system or photovoltaic module for directly converting solar energy into electrical energy, the system comprising:
- at least one solar cell;
- at least one concentrating optic;
- at least one mounting frame, at least one base plate;
- at least one tracking system that is controlled to receive the sunlight moving with the course of the sun and that has
- at least one solar cell,
- one actuator,
- attachment elements,
- a hemispherical absorber support associated with at least one solar cell on the side of the incident sunlight and partially surrounding the at least one concentrating optic;
- and
- a support carrying the module and pivotal about the optic such that the module is adjustable with respect to the focal-point travel or sun height.
(canceled)
An absorber concentrator system or absorber module for directly converting solar energy to thermal energy, the system comprising:
- at least one absorber panel,
- at least one concentrating optic,
- at least one cover panel,
- at least one mounting frame,
- at least one base plate, and
- at least one tracking system moving with the course of the sun to receive sunlight in a directed fashion, wherein the at least one tracking system is associated with the at least one absorption panel.
