Non-Tracked Low Concentration Solar Concentrator, Solar Concentrator Array and Waveguide Concentrator

摘要

A low concentration solar apparatus for collecting solar radiation and concentrating it to a receiving device (16) such as a photovoltaic cell or thermovoltaic cell, comprising a non-tracked waveguide concentrator (14) with integral light turning element (12). It is thus possible to provide a solar apparatus for generating power in a very cost effective manner compared to conventional solar apparatus such as photovoltaic modules.
