Abstract

The above stated disadvantages are to the great extent eliminated by the parabolic concentration photovoltaic converter formed by parabolic concentrating mirrors and concentrating photovoltaic cells placed in the areas of the concentrators focusing. The main idea of this concentrator is that the solar modules are formed byrectangular offset parabolic mirrors that are individually or dually reverse arranged into the rows of mirrors, and by concentrating photovoltaic cells placed in the areas of the concentrators focusing away from the input solar radiation aperture, with the offset parabolic mirrors with concentrating photovoltaic cells being protected against the external environment by the protective glass.
