SOLAR PANEL ARRAY
A solar energy device includes a solar panel array including a plurality of solar panels, each of the solar panels being divided into solar sub-panels. The solar sub-panels have unequal shapes but equal areas. Wires electrically connect the solar sub-panels and connect the solar panels. The solar panels are secured on a base which is formed with cutouts to receive the wires. The wires are fixed to the solar sub-panels but are free to move with respect to the base.
SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING SOLAR ENERGY INTO MECHANICAL ENERGY (SCSEME)
A solar system for the generation of electricity, heating, or other purposes. The solar system employs a Fresnel lens to concentrate sunlight onto a relatively small metallic spherical chamber to convert a mass of water inside it into superheated steam. This steam can, for example, be used to generate electricity if expelled through an ejector nozzle towards a turbine, once the system's electronic brain determines the opening of an electromagnetic output valve. The turbine will be connected to an electricity generator via its axis, and the kinetic energy of the steam can be used for other purposes, for example as driving a water pump or an air compressor. The system takes advantage of the potential temperature achievable directly with a Fresnel lens, exceeding 1600 C. The system is easy-to-build and thus economical system, as it does not require any reflective surfaces or intermediate fluids for energy transport.
