  • Patent number: 9584063
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a concentrating photoelectric conversion device that can efficiently obtain a power generation amount even if a deflection and a strain are generated. A position shift detection element group (7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D) includes some photoelectric conversion elements in a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements (7n). Some photoelectric conversion elements are disposed with centers of light receiving regions (100) of the photoelectric conversion elements being shifted from a center of a focused spot (300) in upward, downward, rightward, and leftward directions by a predetermined distance in a state where the light receiving surface of the power generation panel is opposite to light. The position shift detection element groups are provided in at least three places on the light receiving surface of the power generation panel to correct a light tracking orbit.
