Patent ID: 10323625

Abstract:
The present invention comprise an elastic piston system for the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy, the system comprising a solar energy concentrator 202, and at least two solar energy conversion cells 200 being configured to receive the sunlight 204 reflected from the solar energy concentrator 202. The solar energy conversion cell 200 comprises at least two elastic piston 302, 304 components. The elastic pistons 302, 304 being coupled via a conduit 314, 416 for the transmittal of a predetermined working fluid 418. The elastic pistons 302, 304 are configured to receive polarized sunlight and generate electrical energy in response to the reception of the polarized sunlight, The solar energy conversion cell further comprises a controller 306 component, The controller 306 being configured to regulate the compression cycles within the elastic piston 302, 304 components and extract electrical energy produced within the cell 200.
