Abstract
In a device designed as a rotatably mounted platform (a) for recovering solar electricity, the focusing roof layer (3) further deflects the incident radiation so that the light beams (122, 123, 126) formed by the concentrating optical system are incident approximately perpendicularly on the radiation converter (112) arranged underneath.
Claims22
Platform for solar power stations rotatable about a vertical axis (D) having channels (10, 110) floating on a liquid layer (2), and a transparent roof (3) above the channels (10, 110) which refracts sunbeams (122, 123, 126) downwards and concentrates the incident radiation onto photocells (4) arranged below the roof (3), characterized in that the photocells (4) are in heat-conducting connection to the channels (10, 110), and that the channels (10, 110) are formed in such a way that the heat dissipation of the photocells (4) is predominantly passed into the liquid layer (2) through a region of the channels (10, 110) which lies below the surface of the liquid layer (2).
