ABSTRACT:
The light-guide silo collector-concentrator lens is a component assembly of light-guide lenses, comprising of array of light-steering lens embodiments having different refractive index material light-guide semi-transparent and reflective to incident light radiation- to control, focus, or disperse the transmission angle of the light radiation from that of the incident light rays. The component assembly is contoured in a capping relationship over a focusing lens to provide an extremely high concentration of solar energy irrespective of the angle of the sun. The light-guide lenses increase by several orders of magnitude the amount of solar energy striking the surface of the focusing lens. The focusing lens is a plurality of flat surface type of lenses stacked one over the other in spaced relationship and operable to concentrate the solar energy to a central region. Surrounding the perimeter of the plurality of focusing lenses is an array in a "wall" configuration of light-guide lenses similar in construction to the aforesaid capping light-guide lenses. The angle of the reflective surface of the capping lenses and the wall lenses is such to receive and direct to the focusing lenses the maximum amount of incident light radiation at all times of the day or season.
