Abstract
A double layered superimposed and parallel solar panels having an optical system comprising cylindrical rods and convex lenses at either end of said rods. Said optical rods are centrally longitudinally and transversely inserted in the upper panel through slits where sunlight rays pass and diffract through said rods and widely diffuse over the entire surface of the lower solar panel. A plurality of optical rods may be used thereby increasing the light transmission to the lower solar panel. The present invention significantly reduces the surface needed to install conventional residential as well as commercial solar panels.
Claims20
A modular photovoltaic assembly for converting solar light into electrical current comprising:
- an upper photovoltaic panel, said upper photovoltaic panel having one or more longitudinal slots and/or one or more transverse slots within and extending through the upper photovoltaic panel;
- a lower photovoltaic panel superimposed in parallel to said upper photovoltaic panel;
- and
- an optical cylindrical rod lens disposed within at least one of each of said one or more longitudinal slots and/or the one or more transverse slots, and wherein at least a part of the lens extends above a top surface of the upper photovoltaic panel.
