Abstract

Optical system (1) which seeks to emit solar radiation uniformly over all or part of the surface of a solar cell on which said radiation is projected, being provided for this purpose with various optics (2,3,4) distributed in quadrants with respect to the centre of the cell, where each of these is provided with a specific distance from the optical axis of the zone to the axis of the system and its own focal distance, thus achieving a uniform radiation concentrated on the surface of said cell, which enables the use of larger solar cells, which in addition, given the high costs of obtaining these, improves their production.
