Abstract
A solar power generation unit includes at least one optical fiber including a light output region including a light output window and a light guide region guiding a light wave to the light output region; a housing of a tube type, the housing having an inner space in which the at least one optical fiber is located; and a power generation part including a solar panel provided at least at a side of the inner space of the housing and configured to generate power in response to the light wave incident thereon from the light output region of the at least one optical fiber.
Claims19
A solar power generation unit comprising:
- at least one optical fiber comprising a light output region comprising a light output window and a light guide region guiding a light wave to the light output region;
- a housing of a tube type, the housing having an inner space in which the at least one optical fiber is located;
- and
- a power generation part comprising at least one solar panel provided at least at a side of the inner space of the housing and configured to generate power in response to the light wave incident thereon from the light output region of the at least one optical fiber.
A solar power generation system comprising:
- a plurality of solar power generation units;
- and
- an optical structure for supplying sunlight to at least one of the plurality of solar power generation units,
- wherein
- at least one of the solar power generation units comprises:
- at least one optical fiber comprising a light output region comprising at least one light output window and a light guide region guiding a light wave to the light output region;
- a housing of a tube type, the housing having an inner space in which the at least one optical fiber is located;
- and
- a power generation part comprising at least one solar panel provided at least at a side of the inner space of the housing and configured to generate power in response to the light wave incident thereon from the light output region of the at least one optical fiber, and
- the optical structure is configured to converge sunlight to the light guide region of the at least one optical fiber and supply the light wave to the solar power generation unit.
