Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase a generated power for a unit area of a solar battery array and facilitate instrumentation of the solar battery array inside the main part of an artificial planet by a method wherein sunlight is collected by light collectors attached to paddles and the sunlight whose energy density is enhanced is applied to the solar battery array inside the main part of the artificial planet. CONSTITUTION:Light collectors 5 collect sunlight S with lenses 8. The collected sunlight is transmitted into the main part 1 of a planet through optical fiber cables 6. The transmitted sunlight is diffused by light diffusers 7 attached to the ends of the optical fiber cables 6 and applied to a solar battery array 3 provided inside the main part 1 of the planet to generate an electric power. A supporter 9 supports the lens 8 and the optical fiber cable 6 and a parabolic mirror 10 diffuses the sunlight S.
