20130174890 | LIGHT COLLECTING SOLAR CELL MODULE - A solar cell module allows sunlight collected in a vertical direction to be propagated to a solar cell by horizontal reflection, thereby shortening a focal length of travel of the sunlight and reducing a thickness thereof. In the solar cell module which collects sunlight and converts solar energy to electrical energy, the sunlight is collected in a parallel fashion in preset sections, and then the sunlight is propagated to the solar cell by being reflected at least once in each section. This configuration makes it possible for the overall size and weight of the solar cell module to be reduced because the focal length along which received sunlight is collected is reduced by reducing a width of the light-collecting module collecting the sunlight. Since the light-collecting module is divided into preset sections, the sunlight is received via a plurality of convex and concave lenses and parabolic reflectors in each section. | 07-11-2013 |
