Embodiment Construction

[0166] The present invention relates to solar collectors and also to solar collectors comprising a solar concentrator and a solar collector. In particular, the present invention relates to collecting concentrated solar thermal energy and controlling when this thermal energy is transferred to a heat exchanger system before it is extracted for subsequent use. The concentrator and collector may be arranged so that solar energy impinging on the concentrator is concentrated on the collection area of ​​the collector. The energy thus collected can then be transferred from the heat transfer material of the collector to the heat transfer fluid in the heat exchanger.

[0167] The heat regulating medium may be a solid. Suitable heat regulating solids generally have a high carbon content. Suitable materials include, for example, graphite, graphite particles embedded in a thermally conductive matrix such as a metal matrix (e.g., copper, gold, aluminum, silver, mixtures or alloys of any two...

Abstract

The invention relates to a solar collector. The collector has a heat regulating medium which defines a cavity therein. An aperture communicates with the cavity so as to allow solar energy incident on the aperture to enter the cavity. An energy collection device is disposed in the cavity and in thermal contact with the heat regulating medium to collect solar energy entering the cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for collecting and regulating solar energy. Background technique [0002] There is a recognized need worldwide to increase the use of renewable energy sources and reduce the amount of fossil fuels consumed to generate electricity. [0003] There are many barriers to increasing the use of renewable energy. The main obstacles are that renewable energy is generally more expensive than other energy sources, not available when needed and of varying quality. There is therefore a need for a regulation system that can help bridge the time gap between availability and demand and also maintain the quality of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. In this way, renewable energy itself becomes more valuable. Increasing the value of renewable energy by improving its quality and availability when needed will essentially help overcome higher system construction and production costs. This will facilitate increased use...
