Abstract

Un concentrador de energía solar que comprende una bocina espiral (1) que tiene un eje perpendicular a un plano de la espiral, incluyendo dicho concentrador: una abertura de entrada (2) que forma una boca de la bocina, una superficie interna de reflexión de luz de la bocina, y una abertura de salida (3) en un extremo de la bocina alejado de la boca de la bocina, siendo dicha abertura de salida menor que dicha abertura de entrada, en el que la bocina se adapta para concentrar, mediante reflexiones múltiples de la superficie interna de reflexión de luz de la bocina, energía solar incidente dentro de un intervalo predeterminado de ángulos de incidencia en la abertura de entrada, de tal modo que la energía solar concentrada se emita desde la abertura de salida, caracterizado porque dicha bocina se estrecha continuamente entre las aberturas de entrada y salida tanto en la dirección de dicho eje como en el plano de la espiral.
