Abstract: A radiant energy trap. This diffuse and direct radiant energy concentrator comprises at least one reflector, a refractor substantially prism shaped and a receiver interfaced with the refractor. The invention is capable of a solid angle of acceptance of radiant energy, equivalent to that of a flat panel collector, while maintaining a relatively high concentration ratio of diffuse light. The invention can be embodied as an effective hybrid solar electric and thermal collector. A unique yet simple geometry results in relatively high optical and thermal efficiency. The invention can be embodied as a low profile 3-D diffuse light concentrator, combining reflection, refraction, and total internal reflection to approach the thermodynamic limit. It minimizes materials cost to the limits of cost reduction with relatively high efficiency PV cells. The invention increases the utilization of available solar energy and greatly reduces installed system payback periods, compared to prior art.

Abstract: The invention is a radiant energy trap. As a solar collector it can combine diffuse light concentration and hybrid electric and thermal conversion. A refractor comprises a plurality of non-imaging concentrators, each interfaced with a corresponding receiver. adjacent to a reflector, which can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, with optically independent or dependant sections. The refractor can be a composite of layers, solid or nested fluid layers. The fluid can be a transparent refractive component or be optically independent from the refractive function of the invention and can flow through the refractor as a thermal transfer medium. The refractor can selectively direct radiant energy without reducing the collectors angle of acceptance (AOA) of ambient radiant energy, can take advantage of total internal reflection and can be thermally isolated. The invention has a relatively high concentration (CR) of diffuse light when the AOA is equivalent to that of a flat panel collector.

Abstract: A radiant energy trap with at least one refractor, reflector and receiver. The angle of acceptance of radiant energy can be flat panel equivalent with a relatively high concentration ratio (CR) of diffuse light. The refractor can be a composite of layers, solid or nested fluid layers. The fluid can be a transparent refractive component and can flow through the refractor as a thermal transfer medium. High solar energy utilization is achieved as a hybrid electric/thermal conversion, diffuse light concentrating solar collector PV cells can be displaced, proportional to the CR, with inexpensive optics. Overall orientation and relative angles of refractor surfaces can be changed to selectively reject a portion of diffuse light to increase CR. Radiant energy can be selectively directed to active PV area from PV cell contact area without reducing the angle of acceptance of ambient radiant energy. The refractor assembly can be arrayed and thermally isolated.
