Definitions

  • This disclosure generally relates to a solar concentrator.
  • a silicon solar cell may be classified into a monocrystalline type solar cell or a polycrystalline type silicon solar cell which are both based on a crystalline silicon wafer and a thin film silicon type solar cell disposed on a glass substrate.
  • the crystalline silicon wafer type solar cell has benefits, such as reduced degeneration and a silicon thickness of several micrometers ( ⁇ m) is substantially enough for generating electricity by absorbing solar light, but the costs of manufacturing a silicon wafer are high.
  • the thin film silicon type solar cell may be broadly classified into an amorphous silicon solar cell, a microcrystalline silicon solar cell, and a polycrystalline silicon solar cell.
  • the first reflective curved surface may have a curved surface for reflecting light transmitted into the incidence surface and for reaching the second reflective curved surface.
  • the second reflective curved surface may have a curved surface for reflecting the light incident to the second reflective curved surface to transmit the light to the concentrating part.
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the passage of transmitted solar light in one embodiment of a solar concentrating part
