Hybrid solar-thermal photovoltaic devices for the production of electricity and thermal energy

Abstract

A hybrid wind and solar energy generating system includes one or more solar arrays of solar panels arranged at an angle relative to a horizontal plane of reference, defining leading and trailing boundaries on such panels. A wind turbine is mounted proximate to the trailing boundary on a horizontal axis with blades extending longitudinally and in operative proximity to the trailing boundaries. A source of wind is amplified passing over the windward side of the solar panels to form a resultant wind vector extending outwardly off the trailing boundary. The resultant wind vector acts on the blades of the turbine to increase revolutions per minute of such turbine and increase power or energy generated by the system of the panels, power from both wind and sun. The arrangement of the solar array and a wind turbine on a horizontal axis increases the efficiency of the system, especially in low wind conditions.

Hybrid solar-thermal photovoltaic devices for the production of electricity and thermal energy

Abstract

A power panel designed to incorporate a means of both thermal energy production and electrical energy production from the solar energy produced by the sun. The power panel comprises: a synthetic molded enclosure comprising a solar radiation top surface, bottom surface and sidewalls; and a transparent panel disposed on said synthetic molded enclosure. The transparent panel is adapted to insulate the thermal energy captured by the liquid circulating in the enclosure. The enclosure includes a plurality of segmented partitions adapted to form liquid pathways for channeling a liquid through the enclosure when the transparent panel is disposed on the segmented partitions thereby forming a liquid boundary in proximate contact with the segmented partitions and with the liquid in said enclosure. The power panel can also generate electrical power by incorporating a solar panel disposed between the enclosure and the transparent panel, wherein the solar panel forms a liquid boundary for the liquid circulating in the synthetic enclosure.

Abstract

An insulated storage tank incorporating modular panels includes a structural rigidity to store large volumes of hot and cold liquids. The insulated storage tank includes a plurality of insulating panels disposed on an insulation substrate in a circumferentialpattern, the insulating panels each in proximate contact with two other panels forming a cylindrical wall. The insulating panels are a rigid structure and provide structural support to an inner liner disposed within the cylindrical wall and operable to be filled with a hot or cold liquid. The cylindrical wall of insulating panels is further supported by a thin outer support jacket. The insulated storage tank has a lid disposed on the insulating panels thereby sealing the contents of the insulated storage tank.
