Description

Intelligent solar power generation system

[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent solar power generation system, and more particularly, to an intelligent solar power generation system capable of dramatically increasing power generation by actively controlling the positions of solar cell modules and reflectors according to changes in the altitude and position of sunlight.

[0002] In general, power generation systems that generate electric energy mainly use thermal power generation using fossil fuels or nuclear power generation using nuclear energy. However, solar power generation is expanding due to the risk of major safety accidents at nuclear power plants caused by depletion of fossil fuels, environmental pollution, and earthquakes.

[0003] Solar power generation is a technology that converts solar energy into electrical energy by installing solar panels to produce electricity. Electricity is produced by installing solar panels on a support structure installed on the ground or by installing solar panels on a building.

[0004] Solar power generation has the advantage of being environmentally friendly and using non-consumable resources, but it also has the following limitations.

[0005] First, although the proportion of solar power generation facilities in the total power generation capacity is gradually increasing, there is a problem that requires securing the required land in proportion to the installation capacity due to the low power generation density, so there is a need to establish a plan for constructing efficient solar power generation facilities in limited space.

[0006] Additionally, solar power generation devices have a problem in that their power generation is limited to an average of 3.5 to 4 hours per year due to the limited power generation time (daytime), so there is a limit to the amount of power generated.

[0007] Since the amount of power generated by solar power generation is greatly affected by the angle of sunlight entering the photovoltaic (PV) cell, there is a need for control that can actively respond to changes in the solar altitude and the angle of inflow according to the daily time of day, which vary seasonally, monthly, and daily. Currently, the fixed method of fixing the installation angle of the solar module (or cell) to the condition that produces the most electricity on average per year (for example, fixing the angle to the ground at 35 degrees) is common, but the solar tracking method is also being applied to improve the efficiency of solar power generation.

[0008] However, compared to the general method of fixing solar modules, there are many problems in terms of utility compared to investment cost, such as high investment cost for control equipment and related systems for solar tracking, maintenance cost due to long-term operation, and errors due to solar tracking control.

[0009] In addition, the current solar tracking system has limitations in that it has lower market competitiveness compared to the general fixed method due to the increased equipment cost caused by excessive weight and frequent breakdowns caused by long-term operation, as it must support the load of the solar power facility while responding to changes in the solar altitude.

[0010] In particular, solar power generation requires additional spacing between panels to avoid interference between facilities due to the movement of solar panels, which requires a large amount of land, making it difficult to secure land and leading to low economic feasibility due to excessively high investment costs.

[0011] Additionally, because large-scale solar power plants on the ground require a large space, there is a problem that the construction of power plants is difficult due to complaints from environmental groups and local residents, as it causes a lot of damage to the environment.

[0014] (Patent Document 1) Korean Patent No. 10-2195243, "Floating Solar Power Generation Device with Variable Solar Module Support"

[0015] (Patent Document 2) Korean Patent No. 10-0782372, "Solar Reflector Applicable to Solar Power Generation System"

[0016] (Patent Document 3) Korean Patent No. 10-0799260, "Solar Power Generation Device Equipped with Module Frame Driving Device"

[0017] The present invention has been proposed with the above in mind, and its purpose is to provide an intelligent solar power generation system that can dramatically increase power generation by actively controlling the positions of solar cell modules and reflectors according to changes in the altitude and position of sunlight.

[0018] Another object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent solar power generation system that can reduce land area, simplify and simplify the structure, reduce investment costs, and increase power generation capacity per unit area by vertically arranging solar power generation modules including solar cell modules and rotating reflectors so that they can move in the vertical direction and be implemented in a multi-layer structure.

[0019] In order to achieve the above object, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention is characterized by including: a support member that performs a supporting function; a solar cell module that is movably installed on the support member and has solar cells; and a rotating reflector that is movably installed on the support member and reflects sunlight toward the solar cell module.

[0020] The above support may be configured to include a support shaft installed longitudinally on the installation surface, and a support wall body that is installed in contact with the support shaft and has a reflective surface.

[0021] The above solar cell module and the above rotary reflector are in contact with each other and one side is rotatably connected to the support shaft.

[0022] Preferably, to achieve the above object, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention is characterized by including: a support member including a support shaft installed longitudinally on an installation surface; a support wall member installed in contact with the support shaft and having a reflective surface; a solar cell module having one side rotatably connected to the support shaft and equipped with a solar cell; a rotating reflector having one side rotatably connected to the support shaft and reflecting sunlight toward the solar cell module; and a fixed reflector formed on a floor surface on which the solar cell module and the rotating reflector rotate.

[0023] The above solar cell module may be configured as a double-sided solar cell module in which the solar cells are installed on both sides of the module frame.

[0024] The above solar cell module may be configured to include a first rotation hinge member rotatably connected to the support shaft, and a first wheel installed on the lower side and moved in a cloud manner on the fixed reflector.

[0025] The above-mentioned rotary reflector may be configured to include a second rotary hinge member rotatably connected to the support shaft, and a second wheel installed on the lower side and moved in a rolling manner relative to the fixed reflector.

[0026] The intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention may further include a rotation driving means for applying a driving force for rotation of the solar cell module and the rotation reflector.

[0027] The above solar cell module may include a first rotation hinge member rotatably connected to the support shaft, and the rotation reflector may include a second rotation hinge member rotatably connected to the support shaft.

[0028] The above-described rotary driving means may include a first rotary driving means for rotating the solar cell module, including a first driving gear formed on an outer surface of the first rotary hinge member, a first rack having a first linear gear portion formed on one side of a rod-shaped body and a second linear gear portion formed on the other side of the rod-shaped body with which the first driving gear meshes, a first pinion meshing with the first linear gear portion, and a first driving motor in which the first pinion is coupled to a motor shaft; and a second rotary driving means for rotating the rotary reflection part, including a second driving gear formed on an outer surface of the second rotary hinge member, a second rack having a first linear gear portion formed on one side of a rod-shaped body and a second linear gear portion formed on the other side of the rod-shaped body with which the second driving gear meshes, a second pinion meshing with the second linear gear portion, and a second driving motor in which the second pinion is coupled to a motor shaft.

[0029] Meanwhile, the rotary driving means may be configured to include a first rotary driving means having a first driving motor equipped with a reducer, a first output gear coupled to an output shaft of the reducer, and a first driving gear formed on an outer surface of the first rotary hinge member and meshed with the first output gear to rotate the solar cell module; and a second rotary driving means having a second driving motor equipped with the reducer, a second output gear coupled to an output shaft of the reducer, and a second driving gear formed on an outer surface of the second rotary hinge member and meshed with the second output gear to rotate the rotary reflector.

[0030] Preferably, the first rotation drive means and the second rotation drive means may be configured to include: a rotation guide bushing installed on the support shaft so as to be positioned inside the first rotation hinge member and the second rotation hinge member; a thrust bearing installed on the support shaft so as to raise the lower ends of the first rotation hinge member and the second rotation hinge member to support a load and guide a rotational motion; and a bearing mounting protrusion formed on the support shaft so as to raise and install the thrust bearing.

[0031] Meanwhile, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention can be configured such that a plurality of the solar cell modules and the rotating reflector are arranged adjacent to each other so as to be rotatable.

[0032] The above solar cell module and the above rotary reflector may be configured as a multi-layer structure, and the support may include a support structure for stacking the above solar cell module and the above rotary reflector upward.

[0033] According to the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention, the angle of the solar module can be adjusted in response to changes in the altitude and angle of sunlight inflow, and the angle of arrangement of the rotating reflector that provides reflected light can be adjusted to the optimal state through active control, thereby maximizing the amount of power generated.

[0034] According to the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention, the solar cell modules and the rotating reflector coupled to the support shaft can be vertically arranged and configured in a multi-layer structure, thereby significantly increasing the amount of power generation in a limited land area. Since the solar power generation module including the solar cell module and the rotating reflector is installed in a vertical direction in this way, there is an advantage in that the instability due to external weather such as snowfall or rainfall is greatly improved, thereby enabling the stable operation of the power generation facility. In particular, even in the event of heavy snowfall, the damage caused by the accumulation of snow can be minimized because the solar cell modules are arranged in a vertical structure, and the snow that partially accumulates at the bottom can be removed to the outside of the module by controlling the solar module and the reflector, thereby resolving the problem of reduced power generation due to snow accumulation.

[0035] In addition, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention installs the solar cell module and the rotating reflector in a vertical direction, so that the land area occupied is small, so that solar power generation facilities can be efficiently installed even in limited spaces such as urban areas, and not only can investment costs be reduced, but damage to nature can be relatively minimized due to the reduced occupied area, so that there is an advantage in protecting the natural environment.

[0036] The intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention has a solar cell module and a rotating reflector that are rotatably hinged to a support shaft and rotate with a small amount of power through the rolling motion of the first wheel and the second wheel, so that the solar tracking system can be made lightweight and compact, thereby ensuring durability for long-term stable operation, and has the advantage of securing economic feasibility and competitiveness by drastically reducing the structural problems and excessive installation costs of the tracking system that must bear the entire load of the conventional solar module.

[0037] In addition, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention can control the position of the solar cell module and the rotating reflector to perform optimal solar power generation output control by learning solar power generation output according to solar power interference by topographic features of the installation area, weather, seasonal solar power altitude change, and solar power altitude change by time based on advance control data and power generation output data through active control that simultaneously adjusts the arrangement angle of the rotating reflector while utilizing reflected light by the fixed reflector in addition to the angle adjustment function of the solar module, thereby improving power generation efficiency.

Furthermore, since the present invention is characterized by a smart solar power generation system, the relevant parts will be primarily illustrated and described, with the remaining parts being simplified or omitted.

[0044] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are enlarged perspective views of main parts for explaining an intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of part A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of part B of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of part C of FIG. 2 for explaining main parts of an intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, an intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it can maximize power production by actively controlling the positions of solar cell modules and reflectors according to changes in solar altitude and position, and includes a support (1), a solar cell module (2), a rotating reflector (3), and a fixed reflector (4).

[0046] The support member (1) is a component that performs the function of supporting the solar cell module (2) and the rotating reflector (3), and is provided with a support shaft (11) and a support wall (12).

[0047] The support shaft (11) is a component to which the solar cell module (2) and the rotational reflector (3) are rotatably connected, and is composed of a rod-shaped member installed longitudinally on the installation surface.

[0048] The supporting wall (12) is a plate-shaped member that is installed in contact with the supporting shaft (11) and is configured with a structure having a reflective surface so as to irradiate sunlight toward the solar cell module (2). Here, the reflective surface can be configured by installing a reflective plate or attaching a reflective film layer.

[0049] And, although not specifically shown in the drawing, the supporting wall (12) may be further provided with a supporting frame (not shown) on the back surface to maintain the erected state.

[0050] The solar cell module (2) is movably installed on a support (1) and is configured as a plate-shaped structure equipped with a plurality of solar cells (22).

[0051] Preferably, the solar cell module (2) is rotatably connected on one side to a support shaft (11) so that the angle of arrangement can be adjusted according to the position of the sun for effective incidence of sunlight.

[0052] The solar cell module (2) is composed of a double-sided solar cell module in which multiple solar cells (22) are installed on both sides of a rectangular module frame (21) to improve power generation efficiency.

[0053] And the solar cell module (2) is provided with a first rotation hinge member (23) that is connected to one side of the module frame (21) and rotatably connected to the support shaft (11), and a first wheel (24) that is installed on the lower side of the module frame (21) and moves in a cloud manner on the fixed reflector (4).

[0054] The first rotating hinge member (23) has a ring-shaped hinge body (231) inserted into the support shaft (11) as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, and a hinge protrusion (232) assembled to the module frame (21) of the solar cell module (2) protruding from the hinge body (231) by a bolt assembly or welding assembly method.

[0055] And, the first rotation hinge member (23) is composed of an upper first rotation hinge member (23a) coupled to the upper part of the solar cell module (2) and a lower first rotation hinge member (23b) coupled to the lower part of the solar cell module (2). Here, the upper first rotation hinge member (23a) has a first driving gear (51) formed on the outer surface, which will be described later, and the lower first rotation hinge member (23b) does not have a first driving gear formed thereon in order to simplify the structure.

[0056] The first wheel (24) is configured by installing a cloud wheel, commonly referred to as a caster, at the bottom of the module frame (21) opposite the installation direction of the first rotating hinge member (23). When the first wheel (24) is installed on the module frame (21) in this way, the arrangement angle of the module frame (21) can be smoothly adjusted through cloud movement, and since the load of the module frame (21) is supported, a stable operating state and rigidity can be maintained, and there is an advantage in that no failure occurs even when used for a long time.

[0057] Meanwhile, the rotary reflector (3) is a component that is movably installed on the support (1) and reflects sunlight toward the solar cell module (2). It is configured with a structure in which one side is rotatably connected to the support shaft (11) and a reflector (32) is combined with a reflector frame (31) formed in a roughly rectangular shape.

[0058] The fixed reflector (4) is a component formed on the bottom surface where the solar cell module (2) and the rotating reflector (3) rotate, and is composed of a reflector (42). In addition, the fixed reflector (4) is provided with a reflector support frame (41) for support at the bottom of the reflector (32).

[0059] In addition, the rotary reflector (3) has a second rotary hinge member (33) that is connected to one side and rotatably connected to a support shaft (11), and a second wheel (34) that is installed on the lower side and moves in a cloud manner on the fixed reflector (4).

[0060] The second rotary hinge member (33) has a ring-shaped hinge body (331) inserted into the support shaft (11), and a hinge projection (332) protruding from the hinge body (331) and assembled to the reflection frame (31) at the edge of the rotation reflection part (3) by bolt assembly or welding assembly.

[0061] And, the second rotation hinge member (33) is composed of an upper second rotation hinge member (33a) coupled to the upper portion of the rotation reflector (3) and a lower second rotation hinge member (33b) coupled to the lower portion of the rotation reflector (3). Here, the lower second rotation hinge member (33b) has a second driving gear (55) formed on the outer surface thereof, and the upper second rotation hinge member (33a) has a structure in which the second driving gear is not formed.

[0062] An intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a rotation driving means (5) that applies a driving force for rotation of a solar cell module (2) and a rotation reflector (3).

[0063] The above-mentioned rotary driving means (5) comprises a first rotary driving means (5a) that rotates the solar cell module (2) and a second rotary driving means (5b) that rotates the rotary reflector (3).

[0064] The first rotary drive means (5a) comprises a first drive gear (51) formed on the outer surface of the first rotary hinge member (upper first rotary hinge member (23a)), a first rack (52) having a first straight gear portion (521) formed on one side of a rod-shaped body and a second straight gear portion (522) formed on the other side with which the first drive gear (51) is engaged, a first pinion (53) engaged with the first straight gear portion (521), and a first drive motor (54) in which the first pinion (53) is coupled to a motor shaft.

[0065] The second rotary drive means (5b) includes a second drive gear (55, see FIG. 3) formed on the outer surface of the second rotary hinge member (lower second rotary hinge member (33b)), a second rack (52) having a first linear gear portion formed on one side of the rod-shaped body and a second linear gear portion formed on the other side with which the first drive gear meshes, a second pinion (53) meshed with the second linear gear portion, and a second drive motor (54) in which the second pinion is coupled to the motor shaft. Here, the second rack, the second pinion, and the second drive motor are formed with the same structure as the first rack (52), the first pinion (53), and the second drive motor (54) illustrated in FIG. 4, and therefore are denoted by the same reference numerals and a description of their specific shapes is omitted.

[0066] And, as shown in Fig. 4, the first rack (52) and the second rack (52) have guide protrusions (523) formed on the lower part of the rod-shaped body for stable sliding movement, and a rack support member (59) that supports the first rack (52) and the second rack (52) is formed on the support member (1). The rack support member (59) has a support member (591) into which a rail groove (593) for receiving the guide protrusions (523) is inserted, and a fixing member (592) that is assembled to the support wall (12) by bolting or welding.

[0067] In addition, the first rotary drive means (5a) and the second rotary drive means (5b) are provided with a rotary guide bushing (57) installed on the support shaft (11) so as to be positioned inside the first rotary hinge member (23) and the second rotary hinge member (33). Here, the rotary guide bushing (57) may be configured as an oilless bushing to ensure smooth rotation of the first rotary hinge member (23) and the second rotary hinge member (33).

[0068] The first rotary drive means (5a) and the second rotary drive means (5b) are provided with a thrust bearing (58) to guide the rotary motion while supporting the load applied to the first rotary hinge member (23) and the second rotary hinge member (33). The thrust bearing (58) is installed by being inserted into the support shaft (11) so that the lower ends of the first rotary hinge member (23) and the second rotary hinge member (33) are raised.

[0069] In addition, a bearing mounting protrusion (114) protruding in the shape of a flange is formed on the support shaft (11) so that a thrust bearing (58) can be installed thereon.

[0070] Meanwhile, the first rotation driving means (5a) and the second rotation driving means (5b) may be configured in various ways without any special restrictions as long as they have a structure that can effectively rotate the solar cell module (2) and the rotation reflector (3) in addition to the aforementioned form.

[0071] For example, the first rotary drive means (5a) may be configured with a structure including a first drive motor (not shown) equipped with a reducer, a first output gear (not shown) coupled to the output shaft of the reducer, and a first drive gear (not shown, similar structure to member 51 of FIG. 4) formed on the outer surface of the first rotary hinge member (23) and meshed with the first output gear.

[0072] The second rotary drive means (5b) can be configured with a structure including a second drive motor (not shown) equipped with a reducer, a second output gear (not shown) coupled to the output shaft of the reducer, and a first drive gear (not shown, similar structure to member 51 of FIG. 4) formed on the outer surface of the second rotary hinge member (22) and meshed with the second output gear.

[0073] Meanwhile, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention can configure a power generation device module including a solar cell module (2) and a rotating reflector (3) in a multi-layer structure to increase power generation capacity in a given local area.

[0074] For this purpose, the support member (1) may be provided with a support structure (13) for stacking the solar cell module (2) and the rotation reflector (3) facing upward as shown in Fig. 1.

[0075] For example, the support structure (13) may be configured in a form in which a connecting flange (132) is provided on the upper end of the support column (131).

[0076] Meanwhile, the intelligent solar power generation system according to the present invention can be configured to have a plurality of solar cell modules (2) and rotating reflectors (3) arranged adjacent to each other to increase power generation capacity, although not shown in the drawing.

[0077] Below, the operation of an intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention is briefly described.

[0078] The attached drawings, FIGS. 5a and 5b, are schematic operation diagrams for explaining the operation of an intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5a is a schematic plan view showing the positions of a solar cell module (2) and a rotating reflector (3) at a certain point in the morning during the day, and a schematic plan view showing the positions of a solar cell module (2) and a rotating reflector (3) at a certain point in the afternoon during the day.

[0079] An intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention can adjust the positions of the solar cell module (2) and the rotating reflector (3) according to the direction of incidence of sunlight, thereby improving solar power generation efficiency by forming optimal sunlight incidence conditions.

[0080] For example, in the case of the morning of the day, as shown in Fig. 5a, if the solar cell module (2) is adjusted to be at an angle of approximately 30 to 40° from the left end of the support wall (12), and the rotating reflector (3) is adjusted to be at an angle of approximately 20 to 30° from the right end of the support wall (12), most of the sunlight is incident on the solar cell module (2) facing the sunlight incident angle, and at the same time, some of the sunlight is reflected after being incident on the rotating reflector (3) and then incident on the solar cell module (2), thereby forming optimal sunlight incident light conditions (dotted arrow).

[0081] And in the afternoon, as shown in Fig. 5b, the solar cell module (2) is adjusted to be positioned at an angle of approximately 50 to 70° from the left end of the support wall (12), and the rotating reflector (3) is adjusted to be at an angle of approximately 60 to 80° from the right end of the support wall (12), thereby forming optimal solar incident light conditions (dotted arrows), thereby improving the solar power generation efficiency.

[0082] As described above, the rotational motion of the solar cell module (2) will be described in more detail. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5b, the solar cell module (2) rotates clockwise and counterclockwise according to the operation of the first rotational driving means (5a). When the first driving motor (54) rotates in the forward and reverse directions, the rotational force is transmitted to the first pinion (53) coupled to the motor shaft, and the first rack (52) engaged therewith moves linearly. When the first rack (52) moves linearly, the first driving gear (51) engaged therewith rotates, so the first rotational hinge member (23) on which the first driving gear (51) is formed rotates in conjunction.

[0083] When the first rotating hinge member (23) rotates, rotational force is transmitted to the solar cell module (2) connected via the hinge projection (232), and the first wheel (24) moves like a cloud on the fixed reflector (4), so that the arrangement angle of the solar cell module (2) can be adjusted.

[0084] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5a, when the first rack (52) moves to the right by the forward rotation of the first driving motor (54), the first rotation hinge member (23) rotates clockwise by the rotational force transmitted in the order of the first pinion (53), the first rack (52), and the first driving gear (51), thereby rotating the solar cell module (2) clockwise toward the supporting wall (12). Conversely, as illustrated in FIG. 5b, when the first rack (52) moves to the right by the reverse rotation of the first driving motor (54), the first rotation hinge member (23) rotates counterclockwise by the rotational force transmitted in the order of the first pinion (53), the first rack (52), and the first driving gear (51), thereby rotating the solar cell module (2) away from the supporting wall (12).

[0085] Meanwhile, to explain the rotational motion of the aforementioned rotational reflector (3) in more detail, the rotational reflector (3) rotates clockwise and counterclockwise according to the operation of the second rotational driving means (5b), and when the second driving motor (54) rotates in the forward and reverse directions, the rotational force is transmitted to the second pinion (53) coupled to the motor shaft, and the second rack (52) engaged therewith moves in a straight line. When the second rack (52) moves in a straight line, the second driving gear (55) engaged therewith rotates, so the second rotational hinge member (33) on which the second driving gear (55) is formed rotates in conjunction.

[0086] When the second rotary hinge member (33) rotates, the rotary force is transmitted to the rotary reflector (3) connected via the hinge projection (332), and the second wheel (34) moves like a cloud on the fixed reflector (4), so that the arrangement angle of the rotary reflector (3) can be adjusted.

[0087] In addition, the detailed operating mechanism of the second rotary drive means (5b) is similar to that of the first rotary drive means (5a) described above, so a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0088] As described above, the intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention can respond to changes in solar inflow conditions through active control that not only adjusts the angle of the solar module in response to changes in the height and angle of solar inflow, but also simultaneously adjusts the angle of arrangement of the rotating reflector (3) that provides reflected light, thereby further increasing the amount of power generated.

[0089] In addition, the intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention can learn solar power generation output according to solar power interference by topographic features of the installation area, weather, seasonal solar power altitude change, and solar power altitude change by time based on advance control data and power generation output data, and can adjust the positions of the solar cell module (2) and the rotating reflector (3) to perform optimal solar power generation output control.

[0090] The terms "include," "comprise," or "have" described above, unless otherwise specifically stated, imply that the corresponding component may be present, and therefore should be interpreted to include other components rather than excluding them. All terms, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, unless otherwise defined. Commonly used terms, such as terms defined in dictionaries, should be interpreted to be consistent with the contextual meaning of the relevant technology, and shall not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense, unless explicitly defined herein.

[0091] Although the configuration and operation of the intelligent solar power generation system according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, this is exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that some of the above-described embodiments can be substituted and modified without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0092] Therefore, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention extends to the invention described in the patent claims and equivalents thereof.

[0093] The present invention is an intelligent solar power generation system capable of actively controlling the positions of solar cell modules and reflectors according to changes in the altitude and position of sunlight. The solar power generation module including the solar cell module and the rotating reflector is arranged to be movable in the vertical direction, and can be configured in a multi-layer structure on limited land or buildings, thereby increasing the power generation capacity per unit area and reducing investment costs, making it a power generation system with high practical applicability.
