Abstract:
1. A solar power generation system for concurrently generating electricity and heating a transparent fluid with solar radiation comprising: a solar tracking system for aligning a primary sunlight concentrator, a fluid heating system and a solar power electrical generation system towards the sun; a primary sunlight concentrator comprising a linear Fresnel lens for concentrating sunlight and directing the concentrated sunlight towards the fluid heating system and the solar power electrical generation system; a fluid heating system for solar heating of a transparent fluid comprising a fluid transport tube, a compound parabolic concentrator as a secondary sunlight concentrator and a transparent fluid, the transparent fluid heated by passing concentrated sunlight from the primary sunlight concentrator through the transparent fluid, then further concentrating the sunlight through the secondary sunlight concentrator and then passing the further concentrated sunlight through the transparent fluid a second time, and further heating the transparent fluid with heat from a solar cell array; and a solar power electrical generating system for generating electricity comprising the compound parabolic concentrator as the secondary sunlight concentrator and the solar cell array receiving the further concentrated sunlight from the compound parabolic concentrator for generating electricity.
