Radiant energy converter e.g. power converter for solar radiation, has deflecting unit for directing first portion of incoming radiation on absorber unit, and for converting second portion of radiation into electrical energy

摘要

The radiant energy converter has deflecting unit (120) for directing a first portion (101a) of incoming radiation on absorber unit (110), and for converting second portion (101b) of radiation into electrical energy. The deflecting unit has photovoltaically active layer (121) with thickness of 10 microns or less. An independent claim is included for system for producing electric power from solar radiation energy.
