Title:
CAPTURING REFLECTED SOLAR EMR ENERGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/038815
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Surfaces (250, 265) containing conversion elements may be positioned and shaped to concentrate or manipulate convergence of sunlight, for example, to produce a steady reflected beam within a wide range of concentration levels and to direct reflected beams for multiple reflections from other solar power conversion mediums (295). The surfaces (250, 265) and mediums (295) can be positioned to avoid blocking reflected or other light so that unconverted energy may be directed to other surfaces and has several chances to be absorbed or converted. All of the devices (250, 265, 295) may fit within the total converting surface area, e.g., within a surface area of a concentrator (230). The method of solar power conversion may employ active and passive methods simultaneously and/or sequentially.
