摘要: A mechanical/thermo-voltaic solar power system (MeTSoPoS) that uses a thermopile generator, instead of the photovoltaic panel commonly in use today, is disclosed. The comprised three major subsystems: (1) light collector array, (2) thermo-voltaic and (3) storage retrieval system. At center collection array elements. These elements are connected to optical conduits (fiber optic cables) carry energy thermo-electrical such as or thermo-mechanical engine couple with an electrical generator. An automatic aiming used align directly at source for maximum output. Each element set lenses focus larger area down point small enough inject into conduit. conduit then from each heating chamber involves outer shell where attach allows shine through either boiler steam turbine, hot node Stirling thermopile. Additionally, hole provided bottom gas burner mounted provide auxiliary means providing heat can be fueled by natural stored hydrogen Electricity not immediately redirected unit, bank batteries. In system, electricity taken form generator charge batteries them when needed. overall has monitoring amount being generated if less than auto other nonessential functions, it will shut those functions switch mode. flow controller improve performance runtime managing thermally conductive fluid various thermal exchange loops and/or cold nodes
