ABSTRACT:
A plurality of solar collectors including at least a solar energy to electrical energy transducer and a solar energy to heat transducer positioned on a single pole. The electrical energy transducer comprises a plurality of solar cells arranged with their faces parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pole and pointed in a plurality of directions. A reflector is positioned to the north of the pole and the cells which reflects sunlight to the northerly facing cells. The heat transducer comprises tubing helically arranged about the pole encased in a transparent ambient air screen. A reflector is attached to the north side of the ambient air screen. The wires from the solar cells and the pipes connected to the helical tubing run down through the center of the pole. A wind energy to electrical energy transducer may also be positioned at the top of the pole.
