Abstract
A solar energy collector includes a body, wherein the body has a geometric shape with a hollow interior. The body has multiple openings arranged at intervals around a Y-axis to allow a light ray to enter, and the openings are distributed along a Z-axis at different height positions. This arrangement reduces light exposure and disperses most of the thermal energy to be absorbed within the body. The light ray enters the interior of the body after being concentrated and reflected by a light path mechanism. Once inside the collector body, the light ray will be continuously reflected until it is absorbed, maximizing the utilization rate of the light ray.
Claims16
A solar energy collector, comprising:
- a body, being a geometric body, the shell body having a thickness, and the interior of the body being hollow, having at least one opening for allowing a light ray to enter the body;
- at least one absorbing layer coated and filled on an inner surface of the shell body to absorb thermal energy converted from the light ray, and at least one thermal insulation layer disposed on an outer surface of the shell body;
- a thermal conduction trough, filled with a heat transfer medium, the heat transfer medium being used to export the thermal energy absorbed by the absorbing layer;
- and
- a thermal conduction device, connected to the thermal conduction trough.
