Abstract
By means of a plurality of reflectors, solar rays are focused on at least one operative region in which there is disposed a solar-radiation absorbent body which is thereby heated and which transmits the absorbed heat to a liquid or vaporous heat carrier. By fabricating the reflectors of a material permeable to the short-wave portion of the solar radiation and reflective of the long-wave portion of the solar radiation, the ground area shaded by the reflectors can be utilized for other purposes, especially for growing plants.
Claims4
An installation for utilizing solar energy, comprising a plurality of reflectors capable of tracking the position of the sun for focusing the solar rays on at least one operative region, the reflectors being disposed on a frame, wherein an enterable open space is provided between the frame and the ground, at least some of the reflectors including a layer predominantly reflecting the long-wave range of solar radiation and being permeable to the short-wave range of solar radiation for the purpose of utilizing the ground area shaded by the reflectors for growing plants.
