Abstract

Stationary solar reflectors shaped as a sphere or a circular cylinder can exploit their inherent symmetry to track the sun by moving the target rather than the reflector. This permits integration of the collector within a stationary building envelope, and can lead to a significant reduction in the cost and in the complexity of the collector relative to fully tracking concentrating collectors. A secondary reflector is used to eliminate the spherical aberration. A Photovoltaic receiver is used to provide both electricity and thermal energy (Combined Heat and Power- CHP). This paper presents the principles of the Building Integrated Spherical Collector (BISC) and describes the demonstration unit that is now under construction.
