  • Patent number: 9130096
    Abstract: A high-concentration photovoltaic solar module is formed by a casing (1) that contains photovoltaic receivers (2) in the base (3) thereof, which are interconnected with one another, and in the upper part thereof has Fresnel concentrator lenses (7) in a plane parallel to that of the photovoltaic receivers (2), which close the casing in a leak-tight manner. Each of the Fresnel concentrator lenses (7) is arranged on one of the photovoltaic receivers (2). Furthermore, the module includes secondary optical elements (8), each arranged on the photovoltaic cell (5) of each photovoltaic receiver (2). The casing (1) is produced by injection-molding of plastic and incorporates cavities (9) in the base (3), each of the cavities housing a photovoltaic receiver (2), and metal laminar elements (10) for interconnecting the photovoltaic receivers (2).

  • Publication number: 20140182655
    Abstract: Mounting procedure of a high-concentration photovoltaic solar module and module thus obtained, defined to carry out a simple final mounting based on a set of elements arriving from the factory in optimum packaging to facilitate the logistics, three being the main mounting sequences: Sequence 1: optoelectronic system assembly Sequence 2: mounting of the optoelectronic system at the base of the module, interconnecting and tests Sequence 3: final assembly of the module, and wherein the module thus mounted comprises: a series of equal optoelectronic systems placed in a matrix configuration and each one of them formed by secondary optics (1), a photovoltaic receiver (2), a thermal adhesive (3), a heat sink (4) and a fastening piece of the secondary optics composed by a body and a washer, the structure of the module, and the upper lens (9).

  • Publication number: 20120152317
    Abstract: A high concentration photovoltaic module, including a plurality of Fresnel concentrating lenses, serving as lenses for solar radiation concentration, which form a group or array arranged on a “V” shaped structure, which reduces the amount of air contained therein, thus minimizing effects of moisture on active elements of the system, attached by a sealed attachment mechanism, and wherein, at the base, there are a plurality of predetermined cavities each of which house a photovoltaic receiver including at least one photovoltaic cell on which a secondary optical element is placed, improving acceptance angle, thus multiplying electric energy generation capacity of the photovoltaic cells and durability thereof, and includes side parts screwed to the structure which minimize torsion stress caused by attachment to the tracker.
