Abstract:
A double layered superimposed and parallel solar panels having an optical system comprising cylindrical rods and convex lenses at either end of said rods. Said optical rods are centrally longitudinally and transversely inserted in the upper panel through slits where sunlight rays pass and diffract through said rods and widely diffuse over the entire surface of the lower solar panel. A plurality of optical rods may be used thereby increasing the light transmission to the lower solar panel. The present invention significantly reduces the surface needed to install conventional residential as well as commercial solar panels.

Claim (Index 11):
A modular photovoltaic assembly for converting solar light into electrical current comprising:\n an upper photovoltaic panel, said upper photovoltaic panel having one or more longitudinal slots, or having one or more longitudinal slots with one or more transverse slots, said slots within and extending through the upper photovoltaic panel; a lower photovoltaic panel in parallel to said upper photovoltaic panel; and at least one optical cylindrical rod lens disposed within at least one of each of said one or more longitudinal slots or at least one of the one or more transverse slots present in the upper photovoltaic panel, and wherein at least a part of the each said lens present, but less than all of each said lens present, extends above a top surface of the upper photovoltaic panel, wherein sunlight rays striking the lens is refracted by the lens and exit the lens at a divergent angle onto the lower photovoltaic panel.
