Disclosed is a solar power station, comprising a first light-receiving device having a substantially planar first working surface, a second light-receiving device having a second working surface substantially perpendicular to the first working surface, and a first drive mechanism. The first and second working surfaces are configured so that sunlight (SS) strikes the first working surface after passing through the second working surface or passes through the first working surface and then strikes the second working surface. The second light-receiving device is fixed on the first drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the second working surface to move or rotate relative to the first working surface according to the movement of the sun.

A solar energy utilization window includes two plate members, and a first prism, and an energy collection portion, in which the energy collection portion is installed with a predetermined gap interposed between the energy collection portion and a second side of a first prism, and in a triangular prism, a refractive index and each internal angle of the triangle are set so that there are three types of optical paths of sunlight that has passed through an outer glass and entered into a first prism from the first side.

An absorber system solves problems of known absorber systems for use in solar fields in that the absorber tube is suspended on a rail below an absorber cover. The design also makes it possible to move measuring and cleaning robots and the like along the absorber tube more and allows the absorber tube and the secondary reflector to be jointly suspended, whereby an exact mutual alignment between the two components is enabled.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and processes for collecting solar energy. According to particular embodiments, a solar collector device comprises one or more primary reflectors, and a receiver assembly mounted on a frame structure. The receiver assembly comprises one or more secondary concentrators and a heat transfer tube. Each primary reflector comprises a flat elongated mirror mounted on a structural backing that is rotatably coupled to the frame structure such that each primary reflector may pivot around a pivot axis. The receiver assembly may translate along the frame structure in a direction that is parallel to the pivot axes of the one or more primary reflectors. The one or more primary reflectors reflect light focused upon the receiver assembly such that heat energy from the reflected light is transferred to a heat transfer fluid in the heat transfer tube.

Provided is a device for supporting solar modules, including a base rail having a first receiving opening, a support, the support having a first connecting element which is arranged in the first receiving opening, and a securing rail which is arranged on the base rail so as to at least partially encompass the base rail and is movable along the base rail. The securing rail at least partially closes the first receiving opening in a second position so that a movement of the first connecting element out of the first receiving opening is prevented. The securing rail unblocks the first receiving opening in the first position in such a way that a movement of the first connecting element out of the first receiving opening is made possible. Furthermore, a kit, a method for manufacturing a device, and a solar module arrangement are provided.

Provided is a sun tracking solar system, comprising a light focusing device and a solar energy utilization device. The system further comprises a drive mechanism (130), or further comprises a light guide device (240) and a drive mechanism (230). The drive mechanism is configured to drive a light-receiving surface to move with the sun. The light-receiving surface receives sunlight after convergence thereof by the light focusing device, and the driven light-receiving surface may be a light-receiving surface of the light energy utilization device (120), and may further be a light-receiving surface of the light guide device (240) located between the light focusing device (210) and the light energy utilization device (220). Since the driven surface is the light-receiving surface after light convergence, an area of the driven surface is usually less than an area of an original light-receiving surface. This simplifies a structure of the drive mechanism, reduces difficulty in sun tracking, energy consumption, and costs, and expands the application scope of a sun tracking solar system, or enhances the production efficiency of a sun tracking solar system.
