New description: [New technical field] This creation belongs to the field of concentrating technology of solar panels. It has a solar panel concentrating knot that can change with the angle of solar illumination. 2. Improve the power generation efficiency of solar panels. ° 先前[Prior Art] According to the development of science and technology, people's demand for energy continues to increase, but major energy sources such as oil and coal will be depleted, and such coal-fired or coal-fired power plants will be used. The environmental pollution problem has caused worldwide concern. In particular, the global warming problem caused by the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide emission is the most serious. Therefore, it is imperative to develop pollution-free new energy products, such as using wind power or solar energy. Natural energy solar cells are attracting considerable attention. The principle of solar cells is that when sunlight is irradiated to the semiconductor, electrons or holes excited by the conductive tape or the valence band are moved by the free carrier due to the migration between the energy stages. The increase in conductivity, this phenomenon is called the Photo Conductive Effect. Xin solar system mainly uses the light guide effect to generate electricity; _ change s 'to improve the current efficiency of solar cells, generally also to increase the energy transfer of electrons or holes in the energy level to do the main solution, but Increasing the amount of migration movement of the electrons or holes, mainly to reduce the reflection of the light source and increase the refractive index of the light source in the solar cell to seal the light source, or to enhance the concentrating effect, so that the strong light is irradiated on the surface of the solar panel. It is also possible to increase the amount of migration of electrons or holes in the energy level. There are two methods for storing light, one is to engrave a tiny pyramid or reverse pyramidal pyramid surface on the surface of the anti-reflection film, and use the structure of the pyramid surface 5 M339587 to reduce the reflection of light. However, the above-mentioned solar cell with a pyramidal surface can increase the light-receiving area compared with the conventional one, and can also improve the efficiency of the conventional flat-panel solar cell b by 1%, but the manufacturing difficulty is south, which improves the overall manufacturing cost. ^ Therefore, it is a feasible way to increase the amount of migration of the electron bite-hole in the energy level of the solar panel by concentrating, which is mainly based on the installation of a device with refraction and condensing light effect on the solar panel. The light source I of the solar light is collected at a specific position of the solar panel, thereby increasing the amount of migration of electrons or holes between the energy levels of the solar panel to improve the power generation efficiency, and the low cost The effects, such as the patents of China Patent Publication No. 200717034 and Announcement No. 545519, No. 463955, etc., all utilize the concentrating technology to increase the power generation efficiency of the solar panel. “The reason is that this creator is aiming at the existing demand for solar cells to increase electrical efficiency, and actively seeks solutions through years of experience in the development of related industries, and has been working hard through continuous research.
