Abstract: Parametric cylindrical solar collector with an optimized secondary reconcentrator and its design process, where the geometry of the primary reflector is an evolution of the Helmet collector concept towards a discontinuous curve that allows increasing the C/Cmax concentration to over 0.52 as well as reducing the wind loads. The structure is optimized to withstand the different loads to which the collector is exposed. The collector's center of gravity is brought closer to the axis of rotation of the collector. The geometry of the secondary reconcentrator is optimized and the collection efficiency of the collector is of 100%. The secondary reconcentrator is obtained partially mirroring the glass tube that keeps the vacuum in the absorber tube.

Abstract: When using a solar concentrator to obtain energy collected from the sun, it can be beneficial to place the concentrator accurately. As the concentrator moves, a position of the concentrator with respect to gravity can be determined, such as through the use of an inclinometer. A comparison can be made of the determined position against a desired position. The comparison can be made to determine if the concentrator should move. If a positive determination is made, then the concentrator can be moved accordingly.

Abstract: The solar energy and solar farms are used to generate energy and reduce dependence on oil (or for environmental purposes). The maintenance and repairs in big farms become very difficult, expensive, and inefficient, using human technicians. Thus, here, we teach using the robots with various functions and components, in various settings, for various purposes, to improve operations in big (or hard-to-access) farms, to automate, save money, reduce human mistakes, increase efficiency, or scale the solutions to very large scales or areas.

Abstract: An automated method causes a terrestrial solar cell array to track the sun. The solar cell system may include motors that adjust a position of the array along different respective axes with respect to the sun. An alignment analysis procedure, e.g., a find sun routine, is performed to ensure that the solar cell system is properly aligned with the sun during solar tracking. This procedure may sweep the solar cell system along determined paths (e.g., azimuth and elevation paths) while measuring an output parameter indicative of system performance. The measured data is analyzed to determine if the solar cell system is in misalignment in which case the solar cell system is moved into proper alignment. The alignment procedure may be implemented on a periodic basis or using triggers, and may be automatically executed or manually executed.

Abstract: A design method for an optical sheet for solar concentration and an optical sheet for solar concentration obtained by means of the design method are disclosed. The design method is characterized in that, for a resin optical sheet for solar concentration containing an ultraviolet absorber in a base material thereof, an amount of the ultraviolet absorber to be contained in the base material is determined such that: in an accelerated degradation test by means of a metal-halide-lamp weathering test (device specification: JTM G 01:2000, Japan Testing Machinery Association), decrease in average transmittance in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 1850 nm after testing for an irradiation time T1 satisfies the following equation (1) τuv(0)+τuv(T1)>τ0(0)+τ0(T1)   (1) and that decrease in transmittance at each of wavelengths in the wavelength range from a corresponding initial value after testing for the irradiation time T1 is not greater than 10%. T1 is the accelerated test time required corresponding to the actual location of use. The optical sheet of the present invention is capable of efficiently concentrating light without decrease in transmittance while being used for a long time in an environment with a large amount of ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: A device for performing solar shade analysis combines a spherical reflective dome and a ball compass mounted on a platform, with a compass alignment mark and four dots in the corners of the platform. A user may place the device on a surface of a roof, or in another location where solar shading analysis is required. A user, while standing above the device can take a photo of the device. The photographs can then be used in order to evaluate solar capacity and perform shade analysis for potential sites for solar photovoltaic systems. By using the device in conjunction with a mobile device having a camera, photographs may be taken and uploaded, to be analyzed and processed to determine a shading percentage. For example, the solar shade analysis system may calculate the percentage of time that the solar photovoltaic system might be shaded for each month of the year. These measurements and data, or similar measurements and data, may be valuable when applying for solar rebates or solar installation permits.
