摘要： A sunlight reflecting assembly includes a box that has an entry and an exit. The exit is oriented at a substantially diagonal angle with the entry and the box is positionable outdoors such that sunlight passes through the entry. A first mirror is positioned within the box and the first mirror is comprised of a light reflecting material to reflect the sunlight that passes into the box. A second mirror is positioned within the box and the second mirror is comprised of a light reflecting material to reflect the sunlight that passes into the box. The second mirror is positioned on an opposite side of the box with respect to the first mirror. In this way the first mirror and the second mirror direct the sunlight that passes into the entry outwardly through the exit thereby facilitating the sunlight which passes through the exit to be directed toward a solar panel.

摘要： A double-sided light-concentrating solar apparatus and system. The apparatus comprises a front-side concentrating groove (110), a back-side concentrating groove (110′), and a photovoltaic panel (120) provided at the bottom of each concentrating groove. Each concentrating groove comprises two groove walls (111, 112; 111′, 112′) extending along the bottom; opposite surfaces of the two groove walls are reflecting surfaces; the open side of each of the two groove walls forms an opening of the concentrating groove; the opening direction of the front-side concentrating groove (110) is opposite to the opening direction of the back-side concentrating groove (110′). According to the double-sided concentrating solar device, sunlight (LL) can be concentrated and received from two different directions, thereby enhancing direction adaptability and expanding device mounting methods.

摘要： The various embodiments described herein include devices and systems for thermal energy storage. A single-temperature-thermal-energy storage (SITTES) system for desalinating seawater and/or producing electrical power is described. The SITTES system includes insulated tanks, a molten eutectic salt media arranged within the insulated tanks, heat exchangers arranged within the insulated tanks, and an outlet. In the SITTES system the heat exchangers are coupled to one another and configured to transfer heat between the salt media and a seawater media, and the outlet is configured to output a steam portion of the seawater media, thereby providing desalination of the portion of the seawater media and steam for electrical power generation.

摘要： Disclosed is a vertical solar apparatus, comprising a vertical light guide device (110) and a light energy utilization device (120), wherein the vertical light guide device (110) comprises at least one Fresnel lens (111, 112) arranged substantially vertically; and the light energy utilization device has a second light receiving surface (Fa2) substantially laid out flat. The light guide device is used for deflecting sunlight, such that the sunlight is at least partially guided to the second light receiving surface (Fa2). The solar apparatus can be adapted in order to be mounted in a long and narrow zone, and a vertical structure thereof enables the solar apparatus to easily engage with an elevation of a building, thereby saving on an additional occupied area.

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： The system captures and concentrates sunlight for transmission to interior spaces or to a PV system. A solar collector uses arrayed refractive lenses, opposing concave focusing mirrors, and a movable coupling sheet forming part of a lightguide. The lenses and mirrors have an asymmetric shape, such as having aspect ratios of 3:4 or 1:2, so as to have an asymmetric aperture to better receive light at the different ranges of angles of the sun's rays over the course of a year. The long axis of the apertures is generally oriented in an East-West. The movable sheet contains small angled mirrors, and the sheet is translated to position the angled mirrors at the focal points of the sunlight for maximum deflection of the sunlight to an output of the collection system. A position sensor provides feedback regarding the position of the angled mirrors relative to the focal points.

摘要： The method is for of conveying a solar power. A parabolic reflector receives sunrays that reflects and concentrates the sunrays as light into second reflector that reflects the light into a tapering device. The tapering device conveys the light to a first curved glass rod section. The first curved glass rod section conveying the light to a second curved glass rod section via a gap defined between the ends of the first and second rod sections. The second rod section conveys the light to a third rod section via a second gap. The first rod section is rotated relative to the second rod section and the second rod section is rotated relative to the third rod section so that the parabolic reflector follows a path of the sun.
