ABSTRACT:
Solar radiation is collected and directed through transparent material for the optical conversion of solar radiation to infrared radiation onto a rod-shaped multijunction semi-conductor photovoltaic cell. This is achieved by means of a focusing structure of linear form having a focal line and a plate of transparent converting material. The plate is placed in the vicinity of the focal line and performs the double function of light guide and optical converter. The semiconductor rod is placed along one of the longitudinal edges of the plate.
