  • Solar electricity generation system
    Patent number: 9893223
    Abstract: A solar electricity generator including an array of photovoltaic power generating elements, and a single continuous smooth solar reflecting surface, the surface being arranged to reflect light from the sun onto the array of photovoltaic power generating elements, wherein the flux per area at a point of minimum flux per area on the array is approximately 75% of the flux per area at a point of maximum flux per area, the intercept factor of the array is at least 70%, and the optical fill factor of the array is at least 60%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 16, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2018
