ABSTRACT:
A solar energy concentrator apparatus which simultaneously focuses incident solar radiation upon both sides of a bifacial photovoltaic cell. The concentrator apparatus includes a corrugated-shaped reflector sheet and an open-grid support structure. Bifacial photovoltaic cells are held in place by the open-grid support structure and are mounted either horizontally or vertically with respect to the plane of the reflector sheet. The cells are specifically positioned so as to receive solar radiation--either directly or by reflection--at 90.degree. angles to their surfaces. The system is designed to operate in conjunction with any one of the tracking systems currently available in the industry whereby the apparatus is maintained at a 90.degree. angle with respect to the angle of incidence of the sun.
