Benefits of technology

The present invention is a high-efficiency array type focusing solar tracking system that uses a lens set, a solar cell platform, a track set, a driving device, a plate, and a second magnet set to move a solar cell on the solar cell platform to the sunlight and effectively collect solar energy by focusing the sunlight at a focus position through the lens set without the need of moving a heavy lens. This system can achieve the effects of reducing power consumption and enhancing the electricity generation of the solar cell.

Problems solved by technology

All these advantages are incomparable by regular power generation or other power generation methods.
In general, a solar tracking system using a motor comes with a larger volume, consumes more power, and requires a huge space for tracking sunlight, and thus making the moving, transportation and installation of the solar tracking system more difficult.
If the design with the motor is not adopted, then the tracking speed may be slower or the tracking position cannot be achieved timely due to the limitations of related mechanical components.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Firstly, a software program is used to simulate a focusing path of a Fresnel lens under the sun, and a path formed in a V-shaped curve is found, and a mechanism used for simulating the operation of the sun as shown in FIG. 1 verifies the focus of a Fresnel lens. If the sun S moves from east to west on a track T in the simulated operation of the sun, the focus will shift from west to east accordingly to form the focusing path of the lens as shown in FIG. 2.

[0021]With reference to FIG. 3 for a schematic view of a high-efficiency array type focusing solar tracking system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the high-efficiency array type focusing solar tracking system comprises a lens set 10, a solar cell platform 12, a track set 14, a driving device 16, a plate 18 and a second magnet set 20. The lens set 10 includes a plurality of lenses installed and arranged into an array, and the lens set 10 is installed at the top of the track set 14.

Abstract

The present invention provide a high-efficiency array type focusing solar tracking system comprising a lens set, a solar cell platform, a track set, a driving device, a plate, and a second magnet set. With this system, a solar cell on the solar cell platform can be moved to a focus position of the sunlight passed through lenses of the lens set for collecting solar energy without moving heavy lenses, so as to reduce power consumption and to improve the power generation efficiency of the solar cell. Moreover, the sunlight that is not collected by the lenses yet can be collected by the plate with holes and optical fibers for other applications such as an illumination to improve the utilizing efficiency of the solar energy.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a high-efficiency array type focusing solar tracking system, in particular to a solar tracker used for tracking solar heat.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Solar generation is a typical green energy source with many advantages. Solar energy is safe, reliable, free of noises, non-polluting, and can be generated wherever it is needed, and solar generation consumes no fuels and involves no mechanical parts, and thus it has the advantages of a low failure rate and a convenient maintenance. In addition, a solar generation system is an unattended system, whose scale can be adjusted flexibly and the solar generation system can also be combined with a construction or building conveniently. All these advantages are incomparable by regular power generation or other power generation methods. The application of solar energy is a perfect solution for our continuous development of energy sources. Countries including Japan, U.S.A, German...
