A linear fresnel solar power system which is transportable in a goods container, wherein the solar power system comprises: a number of rows of reflective mirrors, and a support structure, the support structure comprising a base for assembling the support structure on a commercial goods container, and the container defining a volume, wherein the support structure further comprises: two foldable lateral platforms articulated to the base of the support structure; and two mirror-carrying banks, supported by the lateral platforms, wherein the rows of reflective mirrors are mounted on the mirror-carrying banks. The invention helps to save transportation and assembling costs.

A solar concentrating system and installation has a plurality of solar collectors configured for receiving, reflecting, and concentrating radiation in a focal point. The solar concentrating system and installation increases the efficiency of current solar concentrating systems, such as those based on linear Fresnel collectors, by reducing focal distances and increasing the effective surface of the system.

A method of modulating the impact of electromagnetic irradiance on a predominantly enclosed space, including providing at least an inner shell of the predominantly enclosed space, placing a plurality of spatially adjustable functional elements in an exterior position relative to an outside facing surface of said inner shell and/or placing one or more panels, containers, or reservoirs, each including a thermal carrier medium, in or proximate to said predominantly enclosed space to increase the thermal capacity of the inner shell. A control system adjusts the position of the functional elements and/or the spatial distribution of the thermal carrier medium. The control system acquires data from one or more sensors and detects a catastrophic even related to the predominantly enclosed space.

A solar energy utilization device (1000), solar light emitted from a transparent liquid (200) to a light receiver (120) in the apparatus (1000) forming total reflection; in addition, a light energy utilization portion (310) is laid above the bottom wall (112) of a light concentrating tank (110), better facilitating the concentration of solar light on the light energy utilization portion (310) by a liquid light concentrating apparatus (100), thereby preventing the solar light from being refracted from the light receiver (120) after being reflected by the light concentrating tank (110) into the transparent liquid (200), concentrating more solar light on the light energy utilization portion (310) of the light energy utilization apparatus (300), and increasing the light concentrating efficiency.

The solar heating apparatus has a base box and a main axle mounted on the base box. At least one mirror support arm is mounted orthogonal to the main axle and supports a plurality of mirrors. In a first embodiment, a circular plate on the side of the base box rotates the main axle to bank the mirrors to track azimuth and a belt or chain drive rotates the mirror support arms to track elevation. In a second embodiment, the main axle is a beam mounted on a rotating circular plate on top of the base box to track azimuth and bevel gears drive a belt or chain drive that rotates the mirror support arms to track elevation. In a third embodiment, the mirror support arms are driven to rotate by bevel gears and the main axle through belt or chain drives.
