    摘要: Equipped with a solar power generation device that includes a light collecting member that collects and irradiates sunlight, a drive device that drives the light collecting member, and a control device that controls the drive device, and that has at least one solar cell panel. A light collecting device that irradiates light to a parked vehicle using a light concentrating member, the control device determining the power generation efficiency of solar power generation by the solar power generation device based on the position of the solar cell panel. The drive device is controlled so that the power generation efficiency is equal to or higher than the initial power generation efficiency that is the power generation efficiency at the initial position of the light collecting member.

    摘要: A heliostat optical panel assembly has a curved optical panel, a curved backing panel spaced from the curved optical panel and multiple spacers interposed between and attached to the curved optical panel and the curved backing panel. The spacers are distributed between the curved optical panel and the curved backing panel in a modular pattern to provide shear stiffness to the optical panel assembly.

    摘要: The invention relates to a facet for solar concentrators, suitable for its use as reflective element of a heliostat, the facet comprising a main body defining a front surface and a back surface. Advantageously, the back surface of the main body is attached to at least three substantially linear ribs, which are arranged substantially parallel along said back surface, and wherein at least one of the three ribs is configured with adjustable anchoring means adapted for their connection to the structure of a solar concentrator. Moreover, the anchoring means are adapted such that the distance between at least one of the three ribs and the structure of a solar concentrator can be varied. The invention also relates to a solar concentrator comprising said facet, and to a method of installation thereof.

    摘要: A photovoltaic apparatus may have a solar panel with at least one bifacial solar cell. The apparatus may include a solar panel, a support structure, a mounting member, and at least one reflector. A first location of the support structure may be configured to rotatably attach to the solar panel. A first location of the mounting membermounting member may be configured to rotatably attach to a first location of the support structure. At least one reflector may be configured to attach to a second location of the mounting member. The reflector(s) may reflect light onto a first side and/or a second side of the solar panel, and the reflector(s) may be fixed relative to the solar panel; the reflector(s) and the solar panel may be configured to rotate together about an axis.
