Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to photovoltaic modules, and particularly to terrestrial concentrating photovoltaic modules and reflector panels.
  • Terrestrial photovoltaic modules are composed of photovoltaic cells or other photovoltaic materials that convert the energy within sunlight to electrical energy. Photovoltaic modules may be used either singly or in arrays - i.e., groups of photovoltaic modules wired together to produce more power. Photovoltaic modules and arrays are typically operated with other components such as batteries, inverters, or charge controllers to provide power to the application's equipment or inject AC current into an AC distribution panel or electrical power grid.
  • Non-concentrating photovoltaic modules are commonly referred to as flat- plate modules due to their large, flat surface.
  • Concentrating photovoltaic modules or systems are characterized by a module or system design wherein reflective or refractive elements (or both) are used to concentrate sunlight entering a first opening (called the aperture) down to a smaller opening (called the receiver).
  • the intent of a concentrating photovoltaic system is to reduce the overall cost of the system by replacing relatively higher cost photovoltaic materials with relatively lower cost reflective or refractive materials. More simply stated, the goal is to use mirrors or lenses to reduce the required surface area of the module and minimize the quantity of photovoltaic materials needed in the system.
  • Photovoltaic materials are typically the single most expensive component in a terrestrial photovoltaic system.
  • the photovoltaic cells are typically bonded to a substrate, which, in turn, is bonded to a thermal heat sink.
  • CR Concentration Ratio
  • most commercial concentrating photovoltaic modules operate with a CR between 50 and 300.
  • concentrating photovoltaic modules Another challenge inherent in the design of concentrating photovoltaic modules is the need to protect the photovoltaic cells and inter-cell interconnections from moisture and humidity. This need is often addressed by enclosing the space between the reflective or refractive materials and the photovoltaic cells, and hermetically sealing this space from the environment. In non-concentrating photovoltaic modules, the same effect is accomplished by enclosing the cells between a protective lid and a protective rear surface. The photovoltaic cells in non- concentrating photovoltaic modules may also be enclosed in an encapsulant material. Encapsulant materials have limited effectiveness in concentrating photovoltaic modules, since few encapsulant materials can withstand high levels of ultra-violet radiation present in concentrated sunlight, even when the concentrating photovoltaic modules operate at normal operating temperatures.
  • a further challenge in the design of concentrating photovoltaic systems is the need to adjust the orientation of the concentrating modules relative to the sun so that the modules are optimally positioned to receive light from the sun at all times (or those times when the sunlight is above a minimum useful level).
  • the position of the sun, and corresponding position of the modules are controlled by tracking systems which track the position of the sun and adjust the position of the module.
  • the accuracy of tracking systems varies with the particular system used, with greater levels of accuracy generally found in the more expensive units.
  • Non- concentrating photovoltaic modules can tolerate a relatively large degree of error, since the large flat surface of these modules can receive ample amounts of light in a relatively wide range of angular positions.
  • concentrating photovoltaic systems In concentrating photovoltaic systems, however, the reflective and refractive elements require greater precision in orienting the module. As a general rule, the greater the concentration ratio, the greater level of precision required to track the sun's position. Therefore, concentrating photovoltaic systems require more sophisticated tracking systems, which increases the cost of these systems.
  • a reflector for use with a photovoltaic module includes an inner surface and an outer surface.
  • the reflector includes an inner surface and an outer surface interconnected by a plurality of web members. The web members form a plurality of voids between the inner surface and outer surface.
  • the reflector includes a flat section extending along an edge of the reflector. The flat section has a slot configured to connect the reflector with a plurality of photovoltaic cells in a photovoltaic module.
  • the inner surface, outer surface and web members of the reflector panel may be integrally connected in a one-piece frame.
  • the one-piece frame may be molded, extruded or assembled from multiple pieces.
  • the frame may include a ridge configured to mount the reflector panel to a support structure.
  • the flat section may include a cantilevered section with a slot adapted to receive an edge portion of one or more photovoltaic cells.
  • the slot may also be adapted to receive edge portions of a lid, encapsulant layer, insulation material and portion of a heat transfer element.
  • a photovoltaic module in a second aspect of the invention, includes a plurality of photovoltaic cells and a reflector in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
  • the reflector is disposed adjacent to the plurality of photovoltaic cells and has an inner surface and an outer surface.
  • the inner surface and outer surface are interconnected by a plurality of web members.
  • the web members form a plurality of voids between the inner surface and outer surface.
  • the reflector includes a flat section extending along an edge of the reflector. The flat section has a slot configured to connect the reflector with the plurality of photovoltaic cells.
  • the reflector is oriented relative to the photovoltaic cells to reflect a quantity of light onto the photovoltaic cells.

  • Figure 4 is an exploded, frontal view of the concentrating photovoltaic module of Fig. 1. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
  • a photovoltaic module 5 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • the module 5 has a linear assembly of photovoltaic cells 10.
  • a reflector 20 extends outwardly from the photovoltaic cells 10 in a symmetrical arrangement.
  • the reflector 20 includes a pair of symmetrical reflector panels 22 that are coupled with edge portions of the photovoltaic cells 10.
  • a heat transfer element 30 extends beneath the photovoltaic cells 10 in thermal communication with the photovoltaic cells.
  • the module 5 may be constructed utilizing low-cost materials and construction methods commonly associated with flat- plate photovoltaic modules.
  • the photovoltaic cells 10 are electrically connected to each other in a series string whereby the voltages produced by the photovoltaic cells are cumulative and the currents produced by each photovoltaic cell are equal.
  • This arrangement is advantageous to the present invention because the electrical current produced by a solar cell is almost linearly proportional to the amount of sunlight entering the photovoltaic cell.
  • the reflector geometry is not required to evenly distribute the reflected sunlight over the entire area of each photovoltaic cell.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exploded, perspective view of the photovoltaic module 5.
  • a lid 40 is shown above the photovoltaic cells 10 and a first layer of encapsulant 50 is located between the photovoltaic cells 10 and the lid 40. Both the lid 40 and encapsulant layer 50 readily transmit radiation in the band that is useful to the cells 10.
  • the lid 40 includes an upper surface 42 which is oriented toward the reflector 20, and a lower surface 44 oriented toward the heat transfer element 30.
  • the first and second encapsulant layers 50, 52 include a bonding agent for bonding the lid, photovoltaic cells and insulating layer together.
  • the laminate may be secured in place and supported in the module by the reflector panels 22.
  • the module 5 preferably includes one or more components to control the types of radiation transmitted onto the photovoltaic cells and encapsulant layers 50, 52.
  • the lid 40 may contain a translucent material formed with a doping agent that limits the amount of ultra-violet radiation transmitted to the encapsulant layers 50, 52 and the photovoltaic cells 10.
  • the lid 40 may include a coating 83 on its upper surface 42, as shown in Fig.
  • the heat transfer element 30 and lid 40 work in conjunction with one another to control the operating temperature and levels of ultra-violet radiation in the module 5.
  • the module 5 can be manufactured with lower cost materials, including economical photovoltaic cells that are mass produced for use in flat-plate photovoltaic modules.
  • the reflector 20 has an inner surface 25 that is oriented inwardly toward the photovoltaic cells, and an outer surface 26.
  • the inner surface 25 is coated with a reflective material that receives light incident upon the reflector 20 and reflects the light onto the photovoltaic cells 10.
  • the geometry of the reflector panels 22 may vary based on design criteria, and the invention is not intended to be restricted to one particular panel curvature or arrangement. That is, a variety of panel curvatures and dimensions may be used to concentrate sunlight, such as the geometry commonly used in compound parabolic concentrators.
  • the geometry of the reflector 20 is configured such that the photovoltaic module 5 has an acceptance half-angle greater than the inaccuracy of the sun tracking system used in conjunction with the module. In this arrangement, the reflector 20 is tolerant of inaccuracies that are inherent in most economical solar tracking systems. A substantial portion of incident radiation striking the reflective inner surface 25 is directed onto the photovoltaic cells, regardless of the inherent inaccuracy of the tracking system.
  • the inner surface 25 of the panel 22 may be aluminized or covered with a reflective coating or material suitable for reflecting light rays onto the photovoltaic cells 10.
  • the inner surface 25 of panel 22 has a reflective film 80 bonded to the inner surface.
  • the inner and outer surfaces 25, 26 of the panel 22 may be covered with one or more materials for blocking ultraviolet radiation.
  • the inner surface 25 may be coated with an acrylate film 81 on top of the reflective film 80 to block ultraviolet radiation.
  • the frame extrusion in each reflector panel 22 serves multiple functions.
  • the extrusion provides a rigid support mechanism for anchoring the reflector panels to a tracking system or other support structure.
  • the frame includes a ridge 21 extending from the outer surface 26 of the panel 22.
  • One or more holes 21a are machined in the ridge 21 to permit the panel 22 to be mounted to the support structure with screws, bolts or other anchors inserted through the holes.
  • other mounting systems may be used, such as hardware for clamping the ridges 21 onto a tracking system or other support structure.
  • the frame extrusion also provides a mechanism for supporting the photovoltaic laminate in the module 5.
  • Each reflector panel 22 includes a flat section 29 extending from the inner surface 25 of the panel.
  • the flat section 29 extends in a cantilevered arrangement that projects from the inner surface 25 of the panel.
  • Each flat section 29 includes a slot 24 that is configured to engage the photovoltaic laminate and photovoltaic cells 10 therein and secure the laminate and cells in place within the module 5. Referring to Fig. 1 , the width of the slot 24 is slightly greater than the thickness of the laminate, such that an edge of the laminate can be inserted into the slot.
  • the flat section 29 of the frame extrusion has a reflective coating to protect the photovoltaic cells from extreme radiation concentration which may occur along the edges of the photovoltaic cells.
  • High concentrations of radiation are frequently encountered with reflector geometries used in compound parabolic concentrators.
  • the flat section 29 of the reflector panel 22 has an upper surface 29a configured to extend over an edge of the laminate.
  • the upper surface 29a has a reflective coating which substantially prevents light from penetrating the edge portion of the laminate in the slot 24.
  • radiation is concentrated at or near the edges of the photovoltaic cells, where the focus of the parabolic reflector is located. As a result, the edges of the photovoltaic cells can be exposed to extreme concentration ratios.
  • the reflective upper surface 29a of the flat section 29 protects the edges of the photovoltaic cells by reflecting the extreme concentrations of light away from the edges.
