20150381110 | RECEIVER FOR SOLAR PLANTS AND SOLAR PLANT - The invention relates to a receiver for mounting in the focal line of a solar collector having a linear focusing mirror element. The receiver has an elongate hollow profile with a duct for heat transfer fluid, and solar cells on one side of the hollow profile for converting solar radiation into electrical energy. The solar cells and the hollow profile are heat-conductively connected and mounted in a transparent protective tube. Between the protective tube and the solar cells is at least one beam-manipulating element, and the hollow profile, solar cells, protective tube and beam-manipulating element of the receiver are positioned in fixed relation to each other. The invention also relates to a solar plant having a linear focusing optical element with a receiver mounted in its focal line, and the receiver is designed and arranged so that the solar cells of the receiver are facing the linear focusing optical element. | 12-31-2015 |
