A solar power plant with a high performance solar cells and thin concentrators made of aluminumbacked epoxy coated polymers

Abstract

The offered module of the solar cell includes light collected system on the basis of a cylindrical thin concentrator and the bar of silicon photocells with a radiator for air cooling. The concentrator is a light collecting system and is manufactured from epoxy with a depth of 5 mm coated from the inside by a polymeric film of depth 70 μm and of aluminium by depth 3 μm. Small depths of materials of the concentrator cause its low cost compared with the concentrators produced from glasses. The estimated cost of a concentrator with an area of 1 m2 is 10 .
