Solar concentrator having an offset parabolic configuration

摘要: The solar concentrator system includes a generally parabolic-shaped primary reflector having flat region at the center thereof, so that focus of is ring about axis reflector, in plane rim thereof. A receiver, shape an inverted, truncated cone, positioned peripheral surface receiver approximately coincident with focus. Solar cells are lines on receiver. Prefilter tubular secondary elements just front cells, providing additional focusing capability and improving concentration rays, while being spaced sufficiently unilluminated areas between can accommodate electrical interconnectors.
