摘要： A device for gaining solar energy comprises a integral unit with a casing (10 . . . 13). The casing comprises reflection means (20) with a hollow reflector surface (25) and is closed off by refraction means (30) with an entry surface (35) for entering sunlight. The refraction means and reflection means are each rotatably arranged around a rotation axis (71, 72) and their orientation relative to each other is continuously adjusted to the current position of the sun in the sky using positioning means provided for that purpose. The casing comprises a number of dustproof, but nevertheless ventilating chambers. The first chamber (100) is situated between the refraction means (30) and the reflection means (20) and comprises energy-conversion means (40) at least near to the focal point of the reflector surface (25). A second chamber (200) is situated between the reflection means (20) and the base part (13) of the casing and comprises positioning means (51, 53) for rotating the refraction means (30) and the reflection means (20).

摘要： Reactors for conducting thermochemical processes with solar heat input, and associated systems and methods. A system in accordance with a particular embodiment include a reactor having a reaction zone, a reactant source coupled in fluid in communication with the reactant zone, and a solar concentrator having at least one concentrator surface positionable to direct solar energy to a focal area. The system can further include an actuator coupled to the solar concentrator to move the solar concentrator relative to the sun, and a controller operatively coupled to the actuator. The controller can be programmed with instructions that, when executed, direct the actuator to position the solar concentrator to focus the solar energy on the reaction zone when the solar energy is above a threshold level, and direct the actuator to position the solar concentrator to point to a location in the sky having relatively little radiant energy to cool an object positioned at the focal area when the solar energy is below the threshold level.
