A solar power system is disclosed. The solar power system includes: a solar energy receiving solar collector; a reflective secondary optical element comprising one or more sheets, wherein the one or more sheets are arranged to form a hollow structure having an interior surface, an exterior surface, an entry aperture, and an exit aperture, such that at least a portion of the interior of the hollow structure is reflective and wherein the hollow structure is positioned to receive energy from the solar collector through the entry aperture, reflect the energy from the interior surface of the hollow structure, and output the reflected energy through the exit aperture; and a receiver positioned to receive the reflected energy from the exit aperture. The energy from the solar collector is reflected and thereby directed through the exit aperture to the receiver by the reflective secondary optical element.

A method of creating a solar cell package is disclosed. A solar cell is obtained having an active surface. A coating is applied to the active surface of the solar cell, wherein the coating comprises a four-layer structure. A first Nickel Chromium Nitride layer is applied with a thickness between 5-15 Angstroms inclusive. A Silver layer is applied to the first Nickel Chromium Nitride layer, wherein the Silver layer comprises at least 99.999% Silver with a thickness between 40-100 Angstroms inclusive. A second Nickel Chromium Nitride layer is applied to the Silver layer, wherein the second Nickel Chromium Nitride layer comprises a thickness between 5-15 Angstroms inclusive. A Silicon Nitride layer is applied to the second Nickel Chromium Nitride layer.
摘要:
A tracking solar power system is disclosed. The tracking solar power system includes: a solar power substructure and a platform having a first degree of freedom. The solar power substructure is mounted on the platform in a manner such that it has a second degree of freedom relative to the platform. The solar power substructure may include a solar collector and a receiver arranged to receive energy from the solar collector. The receiver may be mounted in a manner that avoids shading of the solar collector during operation. The solar collector may have an area focus at the receiver. The solar power substructure may include a non-concentrating solar power substructure.
