  2. Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    Such a lens can focus light on a small spot, but does not produce a sharp image. These lenses have application in solar power, such as focusing sunlight on a solar panel. Fresnel lenses may be used as components of Köhler illumination optics resulting in very effective nonimaging optics Fresnel-Köhler (FK) solar concentrators. [64] Linear

  3. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors (heliostats) that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.

  4. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

    Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) modules on dual axis solar trackers in Golmud, China. Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) (also known as concentrating photovoltaics or concentration photovoltaics) is a photovoltaic technology that generates electricity from sunlight. Unlike conventional photovoltaic systems, it uses lenses or curved mirrors to ...

  5. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Solar thermal energy. Roof-mounted close-coupled thermosiphon solar water heater. The first three units of Solnova in the foreground, with the two towers of the PS10 and PS20 solar power stations in the background. Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in ...

  6. Acceptance angle (solar concentrator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_angle_(solar...

    Acceptance angle (solar concentrator) Acceptance angle is the maximum angle at which incoming sunlight can be captured by a solar concentrator. Its value depends on the concentration of the optic and the refractive index in which the receiver is immersed. Maximizing the acceptance angle of a concentrator is desirable in practical systems and it ...

  7. Multi-junction solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-junction_solar_cell

    Multi-junction (MJ) solar cells are solar cells with multiple p–n junctions made of different semiconductor materials. Each material's p-n junction will produce electric current in response to different wavelengths of light. The use of multiple semiconducting materials allows the absorbance of a broader range of wavelengths, improving the ...

  8. Hatch Solar Energy Center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatch_Solar_Energy_Center

    The Hatch Solar Energy Center is a 5.88 MW p (5.0 MW AC) photovoltaic power station. It was built by Blattner Energy using 84 dual-axis trackers and Amonix 7700 concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) panels, each of which contains 7,560 Fresnel lenses to concentrate sunlight 500 times onto multijunction photovoltaic cells. It was the largest CPV ...

  9. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

    Space sunshade. A space sunshade or sunshield is a parasol that diverts or otherwise reduces some of the Sun's radiation, preventing it from hitting a spacecraft or planet and thereby reducing its insolation, which results in reduced heating. Light can be diverted by different methods. The concept of the construction of sunshade as a method of ...
