Definitions
- the Solar Structure (Fig 1 & 2) comprises a (variable) number of thermal or photovoltaic receiving elements (A) and support columns which house the technical services (B). With simple, progressive assembly this Solar Structure can be adapted to perform the following functions in addition to the primary function of thermal and / or photovoltaic energy recovery:
- the receivers can be mounted in fixed positions or with a mechanism designed to track the sun with azimuth or latitudinal positioning. It can be operated manually or fully automatically by microprocessor control in order to maximize energy collection. These qualities permit the Solar Structure to be installed with positive or negative angles, horizontally or even vertically, in any place exposed to the sun - for instance over balconies, patios, terraces, roves (even North facing ones), walls and dividers. In fact, installation in the vertical position even allows the units to be used instead of safety fences in areas such as balconies etc. This flexibility even allows the recuperation of solar energy in apartment blocks and office buildings.
- Fig 3 and 4 show the schematics of a thermal receptor and a photovoltaic receptor respectively.
- This metallic cover is installed on the back half of the receptor and supports the
- this tube On the thermal receptors this tube is mandatory and forms its external cover. It supports, protects and thermally isolates the internal parts form the exterior.
- This transparent tube is made of acrylic (PMMA) or other material which has the characteristics of being UV and weather resistant, has a low thermal conductivity and high transparency to infra red rays. Together with the two covers (8), it assures excellent thermal isolation (0.21WmK as opposed to 1,2 WmK for glass).
- the photovoltaic receptors may not have this external tube.
- This copper pipe which is in contact with the rotary internal pipe (4), ensures transmission of the heat into the fluid that flows internally.
- the pipe is made from copper, welded and laminated to the coating and transfers heat by contact to the fixed internal pipe.
- the same pipe in copper or another suitable material supports the photovoltaic cells and carries the wiring from the receptors and then into the support columns.
- One set of five position sensing cells positioned in one of the external tubes (2) and a microprocessor (9) located in one of the technical support columns provide the information and calculations for tracking the sun in azimuth or latitude.
- the voltage in each of the silicon cells is compared and the values processed to give an error signal.
- the microprocessor analyses the deviation and drives the servo motor (11), the arm (10) and the rod (12) until symmetry is achieved.
- This blade is optional and can be fitted on either type of receptors. It has two distinct functions:
- the receivers can be mounted with a 'tile blade', which moves to a closed or open position (Fig 6.b) to protect the area underneath from the sun or rain.
- a moisture sensor located in the support columns sends information to the microprocessor, which automatically drives all the receptors to the closed position. If the rain stops, the receptors return to the normal solar position as calculated by the microprocessor. At night the solar receptors can be automatically sent to the closed position.
- Receptors equipped with either tiles or sunshades can be manually controlled to the preferred position.
- the tops of the receptors are closed by metal or plastic covers.
- the thermal efficiency depends on the characteristics of this cover, which must ensure minimum internal losses. If a metal cover is used, it is also necessary to install a thermal rupture mechanism (fig 7.f) between the cover and the coupling box (fig 7. a).
- the covers also control the flow of heat within the receiver.
- Fig 7. details the metallic cover assembly and other parts of a thermal receptor.
- the covers are of simpler construction as air may flow freely through them and they need no isolation.
- Fig 8 shows a photovoltaic receptor with some common thermal receptor elements.
- the gasket (8b) prevents dust from being deposited on the photovoltaic cells.
- the solar structure (fig 1 and 2) shows the support columns (B), which house the technical services. These columns form the supporting structure for both types of receptors and contain some of the elements necessary for driving them; servo motor (11); microprocessor (9); wiring, sensors and mechanical parts.
- the support columns also contain the insulated pipes, safety valves, electro valves, air vents and pumps.
- the support columns for the thermal receptors should have good internal insulation.
