摘要： A sunlight modulation device includes a light focusing module and a light deflection module. The light focusing module is configured to let incident sunlight pass through and to converge direct sunlight of the incident sunlight. The light deflection module is configured to separate the converged direct sunlight from diffusion sunlight of the incident sunlight by reflecting the converged direct sunlight. The above-mentioned sunlight modulation device allows more diverse configurations for solar panels, heating devices or the like means, as well as illumination purpose.

摘要： A linear Fresnel light concentrating device with high multiplying power, including a reflector field and a receiving unit, where the reflector field includes a plurality of arrays of one-dimensional linear convergence reflector strips; the linear receiving unit is arranged parallel to the reflector strips, and is provided with a secondary optical light concentrating unit inside, the height value of the receiving unit exceeds half of the width value of the reflector field, so as to obtain a relatively high primary convergence light concentrating multiplying power and secondary convergence light concentrating multiplying power, thereby realizing a high total convergence light concentrating multiplying power. High multiplying power light concentration in low cost can be achieved, while the severe problem of low light concentration efficiency caused by extinction, tolerance rate and shading rate and the problem of inconvenience in repair and maintenance of the device are solved.

摘要： The present invention relates to an improved solar energy concentrating system. The system comprises a dual axis sun tracking paraboloid dish collector on a polar mount, with a re-reflecting mirror in top of the paraboloid dish, which reflects the concentrated solar irradiation into an opening in the paraboloid dish into a light pipe and with a movable third mirror redirects the light into a second light pipe along the polar axis, which with a fourth fixed mirror, sends the concentrated solar irradiation into a third light pipe to the cavity receiver. The invention replaces the need of flexible connectors to accommodate the movement of the mirror, with a combination of mirrors and light pipes, transferring the solar irradiation to a cavity-receiver. Dual axis tracking systems can capture more solar energy, on a more constant basis throughout the day and the year, and by reflecting directly into the cavity-receiver, thermal losses are minimized.

摘要： A solar power method is provided using two-stage light concentration to drive concentrating photovoltaic conversion in conjunction with thermal collection. The method concentrates light rays received in a plurality of transverse planes towards a primary linear focus in an axial plane, which is orthogonal to the transverse planes. T band wavelengths of light are transmitted to the primary linear focus. R band wavelengths of light are reflected towards a secondary linear focus in the axial plane, which is parallel to the primary linear focus. The light received at the primary linear focus is translated into thermal energy. The light received at the secondary linear focus is focused by optical elements along a plurality of tertiary linear foci, which are orthogonal to the axial plane. The focused light in each tertiary primary focus is focused into a plurality of receiving areas, and translated into electrical energy.

摘要： Solar panels located on residential roofs can be unsightly in some cases. A swimming pool solar power generator can locate solar panels in or around the sides and/or bottoms of a swimming pool in a manner so as to create electricity from the sun without creating an eyesore. In an embodiment, a pool solar power generator includes a solar cell module disposed in a portion of a swimming pool. The solar cell module can include solar cells and be submerged under water held by the swimming pool. The solar cell module can convert sunlight incident on the solar cells to electricity and transmit the electricity for use at a location external to the swimming pool.
