ABSTRACT:
The solar energy collector of the present invention comprises a light funneling through including a pair of light reflecting surfaces extending from an apex line in a oblique angle, a two dimensional Fresnel lens covering the opening of the trough at the diverging end and a photovolatic panel disposed in the light funneling trough adjacent to the apex line and generally parallel to the chord line connecting the diverging extremities of the two light reflecting surfaces, which combination may further include one or more dual sided light reflecting sheets or panels disposed radially intermediate the two light reflecting surfaces and a transparent partition disposed parallel to the apex line intermediate the Fresnel lens and the photovoltaic panel, wherein the solar energy entering the solar energy collector is collected in the form of electricity by the photovoltaic panel and in the form of thermal energy by the fluid circulated through the space between the transparent partition and the photovoltaic panel.
