The present invention is that of a solar energy system that uses a light-guide solar panel (LGSP) to trap light inside a dielectric or other transparent panel and propagates the light to one of the panel edges for harvesting by a solar energy collector such as a photovoltaic cell. This allows for very thin modules whose thickness is comparable to the height of the solar energy collector. This eliminates eliminating the depth requirements inherent in traditional concentrated photovoltaic solar energy systems.

Cette invention concerne un système d'énergie solaire comprenant un panneau solaire guide de lumière (LGSP) conçu pour piéger la lumière à l'intérieur d'un panneau diélectrique ou d'un autre panneau transparent et pour propager cette lumière vers l'un des bords du panneau afin que la lumière soit récupérée par un collecteur d'énergie solaire, telle qu'une cellule photovoltaïque. Ce mode de réalisation permet d'utiliser des modules très fins dont l'épaisseur est comparable à la hauteur du collecteur d'énergie solaire; éliminant ainsi les exigences de profondeurs inhérentes à des systèmes d'énergie solaire photovoltaïques concentrés classiques.
