Solar access is the ability of one property to continue to receive sunlight across property lines without obstruction from another’s property (buildings, foliage or other impediment). Solar access is calculated using a sun path diagram. Sun is the source of our vision and energy. Its movements inform our perception of time and space. Access to sun is essential to energy conservation and to the quality of our lives.

Solar collector desiccant system
The present invention is a desiccant system for controlling moisture in a solar collector. The desiccant system has a desiccant bed enclosed within a housing, and is thermally coupled to the solar collector as well as being fluidly coupled to it through an orifice. Waste heat from the solar collector is conducted to the desiccant system and is used to regenerate the desiccant bed. The desiccant system includes moisture barriers which cause moisture from the desiccant to preferentially be released to the external environment rather than entering the solar collector.

Solar collector panel for heating ventilation air
ActiveUS20050061311A1Reduce quality problemsGood effectRoof covering using slabs/sheetsSolar heating energyRadiative heat lossElectricity
A solar collector panel is disclosed for heating of air, in which the conventional insulation material on the back panel facing away from the sun is replaced by a spacing between a permeable back panel and a permeable heat absorber means, so that a heat convection airflow through the back panel and into the interior of the solar energy panel against the temperature gradient prevents the convection heat loss in the opposite direction. The back panel also reduces the radiation heat loss from the heat absorber means. Furthermore, in case the flow of air through the solar energy panel is stopped, the convection-insulation will no longer be effective, and a photovoltaic cell panel placed within the solar energy panel and generating electricity from the solar radiation will not be subjected to the damaging high stagnation temperature of a traditionally insulated solar collector panel.

A solar cell module of the present invention is provided with a reflector that reflects incident light to a solar cell, and a reflecting surface of the reflector is in a concave-convex shape. The reflector is constructed with a diffuse reflective material that diffusely reflects light. Some of sunlight that enters the solar cell module hits a front surface of the solar cell, and the rest passes through a gap between the solar cells and then enters the diffuse reflector. The sunlight that enters the diffuse reflector is diffusely reflected, and thus an amount of light that enters a back surface of the solar cell increases. Thereby, the solar cell module can increase power generation efficiency.
