ABSTRACT:
An advanced slatted reflector is provided to collect and concentrate solar energy. In its simplest form the module is a louvered sheet material platform that is mounted with a photovoltaic cell assembly. The one-piece unit is a mass-producible stamping of ribbed monocoque construction. Light reflective louvers of the stamping are interconnected by a common-border-area grillage that maintains the louverwork position and inclination. The louvers can be patterned in novel configurations to improve the electrical output of solar cells and increase their service lifetime. The lightweight stamping eliminates the complexity and assembly time associated with the mirror strips of prior art slatted concentrators.
