Photovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementary full-spectrum solar utilization system

摘要

The present disclosure provides a photovoltaic-photothermal reaction complementary full-spectrum solar utilization system, comprising:a waveband thermal reactor having a reactant flow channel and a reaction chamber therein,a photovoltaic cell attached to a surface of the waveband thermal reactor, anda full spectrum concentrator configured to concentrate full spectrum sunlight onto a surface of the photovoltaic cell,wherein the full spectrum concentrating device concentrates the full spectrum sunlight onto a upper surface of the opaque or transmissive photovoltaic cell,wherein a portion of the sunlight is converted into electric energy and another portion of the sunlight is converted into thermal energy, andwherein the thermal energy is utilized by the waveband thermal reactor to preheat reactant(s) in the reaction chamber and to make a portion of the reactant(s) to undergo an endothermic chemical reaction such that the thermal energy is stored as chemical energy.
