摘要： An apparatus is provided that has photovoltaic modules and a concentrator mechanically attached to a frame. Each module has (i) an outer shell defining an inner volume, (ii) a substrate in the inner volume, and (iii) a material on the substrate that converts light to electric energy. The outer shell allows light energy that strikes the shell to be directed towards the material. The concentrator has concentrator assemblies, each associated with a respective photovoltaic module. Each concentrator assembly comprises a first and second surface that form a concave structure that transmits light energy entering the concave structure to the associated photovoltaic module. The first and second surfaces each comprise substantially the shape of the involute of the particular photovoltaic module associated with the concentrator assembly. Each photovoltaic module extends from a first to a second support of the frame and is electrically coupled to an electric contact in the first support.

摘要： A photovoltaic assembly has elongated photovoltaic modules. The photovoltaic modules each have a substrate with a photovoltaic material disposed on the substrate. Each respective photovoltaic module lies in the concave structure of a corresponding concentrator assembly. The concentrator assemblies have surfaces made with reflective material that form such concave structures. The concentrator assemblies each transmit light to their corresponding photovoltaic module. The surfaces of each concentrator assembly are shaped at least in part as an involute of the surface of their corresponding photovoltaic modules, and do not exceed the height of the their corresponding module. A frame is provided having a first support and a second support, where the modules extend between the supports. The concentrator is mechanically attached to the frame. A substantial portion of light striking the concentrator is ultimately redirected to the modules without associated tracking and/or control devices.

摘要： An apparatus for converting light energy into electric energy has a concentrator with at least a first and second wall. The walls are made at least in part of a material that reflects light. The concentrator has an opening defined by the walls, and is operable to admit light energy into an interior portion of the apparatus. An elongated photovoltaic module is disposed between the walls. The module has a substrate, and a photovoltaic covering disposed on the substrate. The module can generate electric energy from light energy that directly strikes the module and light energy redirected from the concentrator to the module. The walls are substantially the shape of an involute of the module. The walls are limited to the height of the topmost portion of the elongated photovoltaic module. The module is disposed upon or above a joining of the walls.
