  • Concentrating solar power generation unit, concentrating solar power generation apparatus, concetrating lens, concentrating lens structure, and method of manufacturing concentrating lens structure
    Patent number: 8237044
    Abstract: A concentrating solar power generation unit (10) comprises a solar cell element (1), a mounting plate (3) on which is mounted the solar cell element (1), which is bonded to a receiver (2), a light shield (4) that covers the mounting plate (3), a frame (5) disposed perpendicularly from the ends on two facing sides of a light shield (4), a concentrating lens (7) that is disposed corresponding to the upper end of the frame (5) across from the light shield (4) and that concentrates sunlight (Ls) on a light receiving region of the solar cell element (1), and a translucent substrate (6) that fixes (fastens) the concentrating lens (7) and is mounted to the upper end of the frame (5).

  • Tracking-Type Photovoltaic Power Generation System, Method for Controlling the System, and Program Product for Controlling the System
    Publication number: 20090050192
    Abstract: There is provided a system control method which reduces maximum energy consumption in a tracking-type photovoltaic power generation system having a plurality of tracking-type photovoltaic power generation devices and reduces energy supply capacity. An integrated control part drives driving parts in each of tracking-type photovoltaic power generation devices at predetermined time intervals and drives the driving parts at different times, which can disperse temporally the large energy consumed at the time of activation of the driving parts in the tracking-type photovoltaic power generation devices, thereby reducing the energy supply capacity.
