A molding apparatus includes an extruder to provide a molten composite material, and an adjustable extension barrel coupled to the extruder to receive the molten composite material. The adjustable extension barrel has a drop point to output the molten composite material. The adjustable extension barrel is moveable in a first direction between an extended position and a retracted position to change position of the drop point. A structure is movable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. A lower mold is carried by the structure and is positioned to receive the molten composite material from the drop point of the adjustable extension barrel. A press includes an upper mold and is operated to press the upper mold against the lower mold to form a molded article.

A solar energy collector system includes a solar collector configured to reflect sunlight to a diffused focal point, and a photovoltaic cell assembly carried by the solar collector. The photovoltaic cell assembly includes a collector housing positioned at the diffused focal point to receive the reflected sunlight, and photovoltaic cells within the collector housing to generate electricity based on the reflected sunlight. The collector housing includes a cooling liquid to cool the photovoltaic cells when generating the electricity.

A solar dish collector system includes a solar dish collector panel for reflecting sunlight, and a conduit adjacent the solar dish collector panel. The conduit includes a supply tube to provide fluid to be heated by the reflected sunlight, and a return tube to return the heated fluid. A collector encloses open ends of the supply and return tubes, and is positioned to receive the reflected sunlight from the solar dish collector panel. The fluid from the supply tube at least partially fills the collector and is heated by the reflected sunlight while circulating therein. The heated fluid is then returned via the return tube.

A solar energy collector system includes a base, and a parabolic trough collector carried by the base for reflecting sunlight to a longitudinal focal line. The parabolic trough collector includes a center section horizontally positioned with respect to ground, and opposing end sections adjacent the center section. Each end section is angled towards the ground. A conduit is positioned along the longitudinal focal line to receive the reflected sunlight. The conduit circulates a heat transfer liquid therethrough to be heated by the reflected sunlight.

Abrégé

A solar energy collector apparatus includes a solar collector panel having a parabolic shape, and a base comprising a pair of spaced apart support frames. Each support frame has a parabolic shape corresponding to the parabolic shape of the solar collector panel. Spaced apart rollers are positioned along an upper surface of each support frame to support the solar collector panel. A drive mechanism is coupled to the solar collector panel for rotation thereof. The solar collector panel includes a pair of spaced apart guide channels on an underside thereof for contacting the spaced apart rollers to insure that the solar collector panel rotates squarely with respect to the base.
