Abstract: Various embodiments are related to an arrangement of a plurality of photovoltaic modules. Each photovoltaic module has a light receiving front side and a light receiving back side. The photovoltaic modules of the plurality of photovoltaic modules are arranged in one or more rows to form photovoltaic module rows. One or more photovoltaic module rows are extended substantially in a direction of around North-South and the front sides of the photovoltaic modules of the one or more photovoltaic module rows are sloped substantially in a direction of predominantly North or South. The arrangement further has a plurality of mounting members. Each mounting member defines a space between respective two photovoltaic modules in one photovoltaic module row that are mechanically connected with the respective mounting member. Each mounting member of the plurality of mounting members has a bottom part; a long leg; and a short leg. The long leg and the short leg respectively extend upwards from an end of the bottom part. The mounting members further have a reflector configured to reflect light to the back side of at least one of the connected photovoltaic modules.

Abstract: The Totem Pole Solar Capture Housing is an improved design for a photo voltaic module enclosure. It is cylindrical in shape to capture the maximum amount of solar radiation on the housing's surface transferred to the module for conversion to electricity, and eliminates positional orientation. The cylindrical glass outer shell exposes one half of its circumference to solar radiation on contact. Used singly or in multiples interconnected together, one atop the other and erected vertically on a foot print. The inner photo voltaic module support core diameter and height can be sized to fit modules of different electrical outputs. The hollow center of the support core acts as the wiring channel to the base. Assembly couplings form the top and bottom of the enclosure and are critical in joining multiple enclosures into one vertical electrical output-enhanced assembly.

Abstract: A light-concentrating, solar system, comprising: a first Fresnel lens (111) provided with at least one tooth face, wherein each tooth face contains at least one Fresnel unit; two reflective faces (112, 113) arranged to enable incident sunlight to converge via the first Fresnel lens (111), and then to irradiate to a first reflective face (112), and at least part of the incident sunlight to be reflected onto a second reflective face (113) by the first reflective face (112); and a photovoltaic panel (114) arranged to enable at least part of the sunlight reflected by the second reflective face (113) to directly irradiate to or be led to irradiate to the photovoltaic panel (114). Since a twice-reflection structure is adopted, on one hand, the system can provide a higher light-concentration ratio; on the other hand, the height of the system can be reduced; and at the same time, a structural design of the system has better flexibility, so that a peripheral design, such as heat dissipation or heat energy utilization, of a photovoltaic panel can be performed more easily.
