It consists of a solar cell that absorbs and converts it into electricity, a solar cell module in which the solar cells are arranged in series or in parallel, and a panel frame that maintains and supports the gap between the condenser lens and the solar cell module.

In this case, the panel frame may be made of a PVC or aluminum case and the like, and is coupled to the track member 60 so as to complement the overall strength.

The solar cell panel 50 is connected to the circuit system for transmitting the electrical energy generated in the solar cell module to the demand destination using the storage battery or electrical energy.

The outer shell of the solar cell panel 50 may be provided with an impact protection member 55 to reduce the impact when colliding with other structures or other solar cell panel 50 installed side by side, the impact protection member 55 ) May be selectively used depending on the working conditions as long as it is a buffer member such as a rubber member which is widely used.

The impact protection member 55 is not an essential component of the present invention, which must be configured, and may also be configured without installing the impact protection member 55 as shown in FIG. 9.

Next, the track member 60 is preferably formed in the upper portion and the lower portion of the solar cell panel 50, respectively. The reason why the orbital member 60 is installed in this way is to start from the east of the sun and move to the west. Therefore, in a country located in the northern half of the earth such as Korea, the solar panel 50 is inclined at about 30 degrees from the horizontal plane. It is to track the sun while moving from side to side.

The track member 60 is preferably formed in a streamlined shape, that is, a semi-elliptical structure, as shown in FIG. 2, but is not necessarily limited thereto. It is possible.
