木実極例に垂直にダメすべく短冊状の光V変換領域+2

光線S1が垂直に入射し、該受光部Aの光電変換動作は
最尚となる。然し乍ら、受光部B、受元部Cには太陽光

ただし、上記入射光エネルギは入射光を太陽光線S1の

従って、受光部A、B、Cの各々は上記入射光エネルギ

電変倹動作?為し、受yC部Aの発電量が最大となり、
受光部Cの発電量は最小となる。即ち、受光部A。
B、Oの各々て於ける発Sr量が相違する。
一方、太陽光線S2が受光部Bに垂直に入射する南中時

この様に各受光部に於ける発電量は太陽の移動と共に7

然し乍ら、本発明の如く出線(6)に変叉すべく各光電
変換領域+21 f2+・・・を整列配@せしめると、
1つの光電変換領域+21 +21・・・が上記受光部
