Abstract: The present invention discloses a heat pump system, a controlling method thereof, and a heat pump unit using the heat pump system. The heat pump system includes a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a heat-recovery-type heat exchanger, a multi-way valve, throttling elements, and a mode-switching flow path, which has both air conditioning and water heating functions. By switching the multi-way valve and powering on/off electromagnetic valves in the heat pump system, the controlling method controls the heat pump system to implement multiple functional modes. Furthermore, the heat pump unit using the heat pump system provides multiple functions simply by laying a small amount of parts and elements and pipelines outdoors, thereby greatly reducing the engineering cost and cost of parts, and ensuring a much higher water heating efficiency.

Abstract: Described herein are packaged luminescent solar concentrator panels. Some embodiments comprise a photovoltaic device (e.g a solar cell), a luminescent solar concentrator, and a rigid base. The packaged luminescent solar concentrator forms a rigid structure. A frame may be used to engage the at least one photovoltaic device. The luminescent solar concentrator device can comprise a planar layer that acts to absorb photons. The packaged luminescent solar concentrator panel collects both direct and diffuse light and provides highly efficient and low cost solar harvesting solutions by using a minimal amount of expensive solar cells. The packaged luminescent solar concentrator panel is well suited for building integrated photovoltaics such as sunroofs, skylights, windows, and facades of commercial and residential buildings.
