[0006] [Figure 1] A and B are known solar systems [Figure 2] is the explanatory diagram of the principle of the present invention and the first embodiment [Figure 3] is the explanatory diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention [[ID=�1]] [Figure 4] is the explanatory diagram of the third embodiment of the present invention [Figure 5] is the explanatory diagram of the fourth embodiment of the present invention [Figure 6] (A) is the explanatory diagram of the fifth embodiment of the present invention (B) is the explanatory diagram of the sixth embodiment of the present invention (C) is the explanatory diagram of the seventh embodiment of the present invention [Figure 7] is the explanatory diagram of the eighth embodiment of the present invention [Figure 8] This is an explanatory diagram of the ninth embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 9] This is an explanatory diagram of the tenth embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 10] This is an explanatory diagram of the 11th embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 11] This is an explanatory diagram of the twelfth embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 12] This is an explanatory diagram of the 13th embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 13] This is an explanatory diagram of the 14th embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a known solar system where A is a flat surface and B is a solar panel 1 installed at, for example, a 30-degree angle, 2 is the ground, and 3 is the mounting frame.

[0008] [First Embodiment] Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention. Solar panel 1 and solar panel 11 are arranged with their front and back sides facing opposite directions to form 13, with solar panel 11 placed upside down on the back side of solar panel 1.

[0009] As the sun (position 7) moves westward (from right to left in the diagram), sunlight also moves from position 5 to 51. At position 5, the sun shines on solar panel 1, generating electricity. Although only three panels are shown in the diagram, there are actually many more.

[0010] When the sun moves to position 51, the angle and position are set such that sunlight 51 is reflected from the surface of solar panel 1 and irradiates the inner panel 11 of solar panel 1.

[0011] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows the second embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment shown in Figure 2, the back solar panel 11 is provided on the entire back of the front solar panel 1. However, in the second embodiment shown in Figure 3, the back solar panel 12 is provided partially on the back of the solar panel 1, such as from 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the light inlet end (left in the figure) of the back solar panel. By doing this, cost reduction and weight reduction can be achieved.

[0012] [Third Embodiment] Figure 4 shows the third embodiment of the present invention. The solar panel 15 uses a front and back power generation solar panel 15 that can generate electricity not only when light hits the front surface but also when it hits the back surface. Even when the sun 7 moves westward (left in the figure), it can generate electricity in the same manner as in Figure 3.

[0013] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 5 shows the fourth embodiment of the present invention. A water conduit pipe 10 such as rubber or an aluminum pipe is provided between two solar panels 1 and 11 to obtain both electricity and hot water. Other media may be used instead of water. The solar energy reaches the back side in the same manner as described above. 20 is a heat pipe, 21 is a meter, and 211, 212, 213 are various meters.

[0014] [Fifth Embodiment] Figure 6(A) shows the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the solar panel is divided into two upper and lower stages. The sun generates electricity not only from the front surfaces of the upper panel 15 and the lower panel 17 but also through the route of (1) → (2) → (3) → (4). ((2) illuminates the back surface of the upper solar panel 15, and then is reflected from the back surface to illuminate the back surfaces of (3) and (4) of the lower solar panel 17 to generate electricity. (" TIFF2026076202000002.tif32", etc. are denoted as (1), etc. in the specification)

[0015] [Sixth Embodiment] Figure 6(B) shows the sixth embodiment of the present invention. The solar panel 15 is provided on a support column 9 with a height that can accommodate the height of a person 100. Electricity is generated from both the front and back surfaces of the solar panel as shown in (1), (2), and (3), and further, reflected light enters the human space to brighten it.

[0016] [Embodiment 7] Figure 6(C) shows Embodiment 7 of the present invention. The double reflection type solar panel system is the same as described above, but in an embodiment where vegetables 101 are planted. Power generation and sunlight collection (1)→(2)→(3) are possible, which is better than a vinyl greenhouse.

[0017] [Embodiment of Figure 8] Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. A vertical solar panel 18 that supports the inclination of the inclined solar panel 1 and has power generation ability is provided. The west sun 5 when the sun sets is reflected by the surface of the inclined solar panel 1 and irradiated onto the vertical solar panel 18 for power generation, resulting in twice the power generation.

[0018] [Embodiment 9] Figure 8 is an explanatory diagram of Embodiment 9 of the present invention. A solar panel 18 that supports or generates power for the inclined solar panel 1 and a water pipe 19 are provided inside the inclined panel 1. While creating hot water with solar heat, plants and vegetables such as crops 101 are grown on the ground 2, so that plants and crops can be effectively produced in addition to electricity and heat energy. This is an example of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] [Embodiment 10] Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram of Embodiment 10 of the present invention. The west sun 5 is reflected by the surface of the inclined solar panel 1, then generates power and is reflected by the back solar panel 11, and then irradiates the horizontal solar panel 19 for power generation, resulting in a power generation amount of 2 to 3 times.

[0020] [Embodiment 11] Figure 10 is an explanatory diagram of Embodiment 11 of the present invention. Conventionally, solar power generation was not possible on the north side roof. The present invention enables solar power generation on the north side roof. As shown in Figure 10, a reflector 9 is provided on the north side roof. Also, a north side solar panel 11 is provided on the north side roof. Even when it becomes the west sun 51 by the reflector 9, it can be reflected by 9 and generate power by 11.

[0021] [Twelfth Embodiment] In Figure 10, the reflector 9 is used as a solar panel, and the glass plate on its surface is used as a reflector, representing the 12th embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] [13th Embodiment] Figure 11 shows the 13th embodiment of the present invention. For example, the reflector 9 is supported by a transparent body 91, and heat is stored in the triangular sealed body formed by 9, 11, and 91, raising the temperature. By installing a water pipe 10 under the north-side solar panel 11 and the south-side solar panel 1, electricity and hot water can be obtained.

[0023] [14th Embodiment] Figure 12 shows the 14th embodiment of the present invention. A solar panel 1 is supported by a tubular vertical 3 and inclined 4 support structure, and a battery 8 is installed inside to store excess generated electricity and release it when there is a power shortage.

[0024] [15th Embodiment] The 15th embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that, as shown in Figure 12, 8 is a capacitor instead of a battery.

[0025] [16th Embodiment] Figure 13 shows the 16th embodiment of the present invention. The solar panels 1 are supported by a frame 3, and the gaps 6 between the solar panels are covered with, for example, a plastic sheet 6, so that the whole structure can be used as a greenhouse to grow vegetables 101 and generate electricity, and some of that electricity can be used in the greenhouse. Conversely, installing solar panels or power generation sheets on the outside of a greenhouse is also included in this invention. [Industrial applicability]
