Abstract

The invention provides a high-efficiency residential solar thermal power plant for economically generating power from solar-thermal energy, using a parabolic trough mirror (210) having a longitudinal focal axis, for concentrating sunlight, a timer rotator for rotating the mirror (210) about the focal and longitudinal rotation axis to follow the sun, and a heat collector (220) surrounding a flow channel (288) that preferably has an oblong cross-sectional shape with a major axis aligned with a longitudinal plane of symmetry (213) of the parabolic trough mirror (210). The heat collector is coaxially positioned along the focal axis of said mirror (210) to receive concentrated sunlight so that a working fluid is heated and provided for use through an outlet end of the heat collector.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of prior application Ser. No. 10 / 835,665 filed April 30, 2004 by Charles L. Bennett, which is hereby incorporated by reference. [0003] Statement of Federally Funded Research and Development Programs [0004] The US Government has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. W-7405-ENG-48 between the US Department of Energy and California State University for the operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. technical field [0005] The present invention relates to solar thermal energy systems. In particular, the present invention relates to an efficient residential solar heat collection, storage and application system having: a parabolic trough solar concentrator rotatably mounted on a preferably fixed structure such as a residential roof; and a coaxial Tubular collectors positioned to receive concentrated sunlight from the concentrators, where the concentrators ...
