  • Publication number: 20060249198
    Abstract: A photovoltaic power generating unit is disclosed. The photovoltaic power generating unit includes a plurality of solar cells, a concentrating lens for concentrating sun light on the solar cell, which is installed on the vertical upper part of the solar cell, and a concentrating type solar cell module provided with a protective member which is attached to the lower part thereof for protecting the solar cell from external impact. In addition, the photovoltaic power generating unit of the present invention includes a radiating part for dissipating heat created in the solar cell module to the atmosphere. The radiating part consists of a radiating plate bonded to the lower part of the protective member through a thermal resin bonding agent and a plurality of radiating fins protruding downwardly from the radiating plate. Meanwhile, a frame is installed on both edges of the solar cell module to entirely support the solar cell module, and a frame extension part protruding downwardly from the frame is arranged.
