ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a solar collecting and utilizing device, comprising: one or more paraboloidal light collecting mirrors for collecting/converging the sunlight; a light guider including a light guider mirror for receiving the sunlight converged by said paraboloidal light collecting mirrors and converting it into parallel light beams in a desired direction; one or more curved surface condenser mirrors for receiving/converging substantially parallel light beams from said light guider; a solar storage and conversion device for storing/converting the energy converged by said curved surface condenser mirrors; a solar tracking equipment for tracking automatically the sunlight so as to always keep the opening surface of said paraboloidal light collecting mirrors substantially vertical to the sunlight. The focus of said light collecting mirror always superposes the focus of the corresponding light guider mirror. Such device can enhance highly the solar collecting density, centralize the energy conversion/utilization points, simplify the sunlight tracking mechanism, improve the mechanical reliability of the whole system, and lower the investment and the cost of operation.
