ABSTRACT:
A photovoltaic concentrator utilizes as an airtight enclosure a fused glass structure similar to an automotive sealed-beam headlamp. One of the halves is aluminized to provide a reflector for the impinging sunlight and for focusing it on a photocell carried within the enclosure. The foregoing structure because of developed mass production techniques is low cost and in addition the airtight rugged enclosure protects the fragile reflective surface and photocell.
