Problems solved by technology

Highly focused designs are inherently complex due to tight tolerances in fabrication, assembly, and two-dimensional tracking of the sun's motion
These extremes (unit concentration and high concentration) may not reflect the optimal design for mass generation of solar capacity, especially for direct PV systems

example

[0076] The features and combinations of features described below with respect to the examples may be used in any suitable combination with each other and with those features and combinations of features described above in the "Track and Concentrate Configuration" and "Additional Variations" sections.

[0077] see now image 3 , an exemplary reflector / receiver assembly (eg, module) 5 comprising a solar receiver 10 and a concentrating Fresnel reflector 20 (comprising reflector element 30 ) mounted to a common support 40 . The concentrating reflector 20 concentrates solar radiation from the sun one-dimensionally (ie approximately a line or a linearly extending spot) onto the elongated receiver 10 . In the illustrated example, each receiver has a "V" or triangular shape with PV cells 50 mounted on the downward facing side to receive reflected sunlight from the opposite side of the receiver. While the illustrated example includes two receivers 10 and two reflectors 20, in other va...

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application asserts U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 156,428, filed February 27, 2009, entitled "Designs For 1-Dimensional Concentrated Photovoltaic Systems," and the 2009 Priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 181,612, also titled "Designs For 1-Dimensional Concentrated Photovoltaic Systems," filed May 27, said provisional Each of the applications is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to harvesting solar energy to provide, for example, electricity. Background technique [0004] Alternative energy sources are needed to meet the ever-increasing worldwide energy demands. Solar energy resources are sufficient in many geographic areas to meet such demands in part by providing electricity. Solar power generation is currently evolving from a niche technology into a mainstream industry. As this transition occurs, ...
