Patent number: 8134104Abstract: Concentrating solar collector systems that utilize a concentrating reflector to direct incident solar radiation to a solar receiver are described. In one aspect, the reflective surface is arranged to direct light to the receiver in a non-imaging manner in which the solar rays reflected from the opposing edges of the reflective surface are generally directed towards a central portion of the solar receiver. Rays reflected from selected central portions of the reflective surface are directed closer to the edges of the receiver than the solar rays reflected from the edges of the reflective surface. The described reflectors are generally intended for use in solar collector systems that track movements of the sun along at least one axis.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Skyline Solar, Inc.Inventors: Marc A. Finot, Jason R. Wells

Patent number: 8049150Abstract: In one embodiment, a concentrating solar energy collector, which tracks movements of the sun along one axis has a reflective trough, at least one solar receiver mounted above the reflective trough and configured so that incident sunlight striking the reflective trough is directed toward the at least one solar receiver, and a reflector extender coupled to a first end of the reflective trough and configured to capture and direct incident sunlight towards the at least one solar receiver. In another embodiment, one or more extended end reflectors is attached with a reflective trough of a solar energy collector.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2010Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Skyline Solar, Inc.Inventors: Eric C. Johnson, James L. Bilodeau, Jason R. Wells, John L. Nightingale, Marc A. Finot
