Cost-effective photoenergy installation

Abstract

The paper discusses ways to reduce the cost of photoenergy systems by a selecting of appropriate design and schematics of the installation components. To improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization new hybrid installations with solar radiation concentrators are proposed, which can supply not only electricity, but also heat, including hot water preparing. It is proposed to implement different structural and technological solutions, depending on the basic specialization of the installation: generation of electricity or thermal energy, the need for auxiliary source of electrical energy, etc.
