A New supporting structure technology in  the polar tracking method

ON SALE PATENT PCT/2008/0414

Title of invention:

Equatorial Mounting Punctual Parabolic Concentrator for the Transformation of Solar Energy in Electric or Mechanical Energy. 

A circular concentric arc shaped guide whose section is fixed to the parabolic concentrator and guided in the arms to correct the inclination of the parabolic concentrator. (see projects fig. 2)

The above said polar tracking method parabolic concentrator is more efficient and competitive either of the supporting structure of the photovoltaic panels which have a slow return , or of the structure azimuth-elevation tracking dish which  has high installation costs and is difficult to manage for incompetent users.

elcome in the plans and punctual parabolic concentrator systems Web for the exploitation of solar and thermoelectric energy.

- Said “self-contained” systems – targeted to support the needs of small and medium firms – relate to “equatorial mounting” new mechanical structures “suitable to support on the paraboloid focus heavy receivers such as: the hybrid Stirling engine, the Reformer with fuel cells, the boiler etc. to generate electricity, hydrogen, and high temperature heat process.- The transport and support characteristic mechanical structure guarantees to the above said systems – with no width limits – better resistance to the wind and vibration; low maintenance and high reliability.
The above said systems are also easily installed on uneven and rocky grounds, with reasonable costs and easy running.
Besides such adjustable structures allow the choice of a paraboloid of any diameter with a high resolution power in order to receive more electromagnetic waves and can be used to build optical radiotelescopes and aerials for satellite communications.
