A light redirecting prism, a redirecting prismatic wall and a solar panel incorporating the same

A light redirecting prism having at least three elongate surfaces including:

• a. an incident surface configured to receive incident parallel rays of light;
• b. a redirecting surface configured to perform total internal reflection of the light travelling from the incident surface through a predetermined range of angles and thus redirect the light, a first angle defined between the incident surface and the transmitting surface, said first angle being particularly in the range of 80°-100°, and still particularly being 100°, and
• c. a transmitting surface configured to transmit the redirected light at a predetermined angle out of said prism and to direct the light towards a solar energy absorbing device, a second angle defined between the incident surface and the redirecting surface, thus defining a third angle defined between the redirecting surface and the transmitting surface, said second angle being particularly in the range of 45°-55°, and still particularly being 49°.
