Patent number: 8720707Abstract: A frame is provided for highly-concentrated photovoltaic cells. The frame uses vertical and horizontal rods. Connectors are fixed at where the vertical and horizontal rods connect. The frame is constructed with the rods and connectors coordinated with fixing components. Thus, solar cell receivers can be directly set at any place on the frame; and the frame can be easily constructed and safely moved. Furthermore, location space is effectively used and weather resistance is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Atomic Energy CouncilInventors: Hwen-Fen Hong, Zun-Hao Shih, hwa-yuh Shin, Cherng-Tsong Kuo

Patent number: 8145021Abstract: Disclosed is a cable for use in a concentrating photovoltaic module. The cable includes at least one strand wrapped with an optically pervious or reflective sheath. The pervious sheath is made of a material that exhibits a penetration rate of 90% and survives a temperature of at least 140 degrees Celsius. The reflective sheath is made of a material that exhibits a reflection rate of 95% and survives a temperature of at least 140 degrees Celsius. The cable is used to connect an anode of the concentrating photovoltaic module to a cathode of the same. The material of the reflective sheath may be isolating.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2010Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Atomic Energy Council-Institute of Nuclear ResearchInventors: Yi-Ping Liang, Kuo-Hsin Lin, Hwen-Fen Hong, Hwa-Yuh Shin, Cherng-Tsong Kuo

Publication number: 20110174358Abstract: A frame structure of a concentrator type solar cell module, with its carrier portion and connection and fixing portion of a frame edge designed into a vertical and stack-up arrangement, thus reducing significantly a thickness of the frame edge, such that upon carrying a concentrator lens array, the proportion of light receiving area is increased, hereby raising the photo-electrical conversion efficiency of the concentrator type solar cell module. Therefore, in this way, in a condition of maintaining a same load mechanical strength, the ineffective light receiving area can be reduced significantly, while raising the photo-electrical conversion efficiency of the solar cell module.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2010Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Atomic Energy Council, Executive YuanInventors: HWA-YUH SHIN, Hung-Sheng Chiu, Chun-Yi Chen, Hung-Zen Kuo, Ying-Ru Chen, Yi-Ya Huang, Cherng-Tsong Kuo
