Title:
INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL/THERMAL SOLAR SYSTEM WITH TRACKING AXIS ALONG THERMAL PIPE CENTER -LINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/077266
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An integrated thermal/electric solar system has a water pipe that fits into a heat - transfer plate that supports the photovoltaic (PV) panel. A lens frame supports a lens (in particular a fresnel lens) above the PV panel to concentrate sunlight. The lens frame is connected to a lens riser frame that allow rotation in the wind, allowing the lens frame to act as a weather vane and point downwind to reduce wind pressure and damage to the lens frame. Wheels around the water pipe roll in a track during tracking to follow sun movements. The lens riser frame is attached to the wheels. The PV panel, lens, lens frame, and lens riser frame all rotate as a unit around the centerline of the water pipe. Both electric and thermal energy from the sun are captured as the water from the water pipe can pre-heat a domestic hot-water supply.
