Abstract

The present invention relates to a solar unit assembly adapted for reflecting light onto a receiver, comprising a plurality of solar collector units, a primary support element, a plurality of secondary support elements, and two side support elements. The invention furthermore relates to a method of providing such a solar unit assembly.

IPC Classes  ?

• F24S 23/74 - Arrangements for concentrating solar rays for solar heat collectors with reflectors with trough-shaped or cylindro-parabolic reflective surfaces
• F24S 25/10 - Arrangement of stationary mountings or supports for solar heat collector modules extending in directions away from a supporting surface
• F24S 25/00 - Arrangement of stationary mountings or supports for solar heat collector modules
• F24S 25/13 - Profile arrangements, e.g. trusses

Abstract

The solar collector unit is adapted for reflecting light onto a receiver, and comprises a reflector element, and a support structure supporting the reflector element. The reflector element is flexible and comprises a reflective surface and a substrate having a predefined length and width. The support structure comprises a predefined number of profiles per length unit connected to the reflector element at a distance from each other to provide a predefined shape of the solar collector unit. The number of profiles per length of substrate may be varied and lies in the interval 3 to 12, preferably 4 to 10, most preferred 5 to 8 per 2000 mm of length of the substrate.

• F24J 2/14 - semi-cylindrical or cylindro-parabolic
• F24J 2/52 - Arrangement of mountings or supports
• F24J 2/10 - having reflectors as concentrating elements
• F24J 2/54 - specially adapted for rotary movement

Abstract

The solar collector unit (2) is adapted for reflecting light onto a receiver(3),and comprises a reflector element (21), and a support structure (22) supporting the reflector element. The reflector element is flexible and comprises a reflective surface and a substrate having a predefined length and width. The support structure comprises a predefined number of profiles per length unit connected to the reflector element at a distance from each other to provide a predefined shape of the solar collector unit. The number of profiles per length of substrate may be varied and lies in the interval 3 to 12, preferably 4 to 10, most preferred 5 to 8 per 2000 mm of length of the substrate.
