Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the thin solid panel, which is integrally formed in plane shape and man-hours for assembly thereof is few, by unifying and arranging beam-condensing type solar cells, cells thereof are disposed and fixed near the foci of small-sized lenses, in array shape. CONSTITUTION:The small-sized lenses 22 are arranged and fastened to each of the solar cell chips 21 of approximately 1mm. squares. The chips 21 are fitted onto a lower base body 23 consisting of an Alumite plate with a printed wiring pattern. An upper transparent substrate 25 is fixed to the upper section of these parts through a spacer 24. In said constitution, since the size of the solar cell chips 21 is reduced up to approximately 1mm., the size of the lenses 22 for condensing beams may be decreased up to 10-20mm., and the whole thickness is diminished and the panel can be thinned.

Concentrating solar cells generally use a Fresnel lens as a concentrating lens.1. -It has a structure in which cells are placed near its focal point. FIG. 1 schematically shows the structure of such a conventional concentrating solar cell. The size of the cell used is about 1011111ψ to 40511ψ, and the lens often has an aperture of about 20011111ψ to 600 m+1ψ depending on the condensing ratio and the size of the cell. In conventional concentrating solar cells as shown in Figure 1, the focal length of the lens is relatively large, so
When the lens holder and the cell 14 are assembled, the overall size is large and bulky, and due to its structure, the lens support (12'
, cell support stand, 14, and other mechanical parts ψ must be assembled, resulting in a drawback that a large number of assembly steps are required.

FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of an example of the concentrating solar cell panel of the present invention. A small lens 22 is arranged and fixed to each of the solar cell chips 21 having a cut angle of about 1. The solar cell chip 21 is, for example, a high-efficiency GaAJA for condensing light.
s/Qa A S and these chips are mounted on a lower substrate 28 consisting of an alumite plate with a printed wiring pattern. The small lens 22 is molded from a transparent resin with a high refractive index, and is integrally formed and fixed on the lower base 23 so that the solar cell chip 1 is located near its focal point.

The above-mentioned concentrating solar cell panel has the following features: (1) The size of the solar cell chip l is about 1 cm, which is smaller than a general solar cell, so it is possible to use a concentrating lens! The size of the light source only needs to be as small as lOI+II+I~zomm, and therefore the overall thickness can be made small and thin despite being a highly condensing type. (2) It is robust because the lower base 23 and the upper transparent base 25 are integrally fixed via the spacer 24. (3) It has a simple structure and is suitable for mass production, which is a remarkable feature that has never been seen before as a concentrating solar cell.

By designing an appropriate shape and refractive index, it can be used not only when sunlight is incident perpendicularly, but also when it is incident obliquely.
It is possible to focus on the solar cell chip. With such a configuration, sunlight can be effectively focused without a strict solar tracking mechanism, and the tracking mechanism can be simplified or omitted.
