Patent

CA 2717314

Renewable energy sources provide electricity without consuming fossil fuels and contributing to emissions that impact the global environment. Unlike wind and water methods solar photovoltaic generators provide this renewable energy without geographic or meteorological limitations. However, today electricity generation from solar using photovoltaics is more expensive than fossil fuel sources and is generally limited to deployments with large planar photovoltaic panels. According to embodiments of the invention concentrator based azimuth-altitude tracking solar power generators are provided offering reduced electricity generation costs, reduced installation costs, increased flexibility in deployment and locations of deployment, and initial system costs. The optical assembly comprises a concentrating lens assembly and a reflector to couple the solar radiation to the photovoltaic cell. The concentrating lens assembly is offset out of the plane parallel to the photovoltaic cell whilst the reflector and the reflector may be disposed angularly offset to an axis perpendicular to the photovoltaic cell.
