SOLAR PANEL WITH a FRESNEL LENS CPV CONCENTRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC PV SOLAR CONCENTRATOR FREE ENERGY

@rainbowsalads that comment was meant for the latest video were the cable was heated up and melting due to the added mirrors.

What would be the potential for combining such a panel with e.g. solar pool system to solve all problems?

By that I mean run water through capillary pipes behind the fresnel focused solar panel as a heat sink to dissipate the heat and at the same time create hot water for your pool/shower. The idea being to combine both panels into a single unit.

I’ve not seen any vids on making your own solar water/pool heating panels… do any exist, is that even feasible?

Great stuff dude. Thanks!!

Yeah. You do have a good Channel.

Greenpower science is awesome!! My favourite channel. : P

With the funding, I could put something like that into production in short order. I design a lot of things in my head because I don’t have the money to design them elsewhere, at present.

I’ve thought about doing something like using a fresnel lens to do what you’ve done, while coupling Peltier TEC’s into the process to help bleed the excess heat of the enclosure, while producing additional electricity using the Seebeck Efffect.

Hey Dan. Nice idea with using the lens! There are some applications on the web for a ‘stretched’ Fresnel lens solar concentrator for satellites. The lense material is not suppose to be as fragile, but I’ve found no evidence of it actually being used. Are you familiar with any of those experiments or the results?

Another great video Dan, but, one question regarding the use of either the mirror or fresnel lens. Wouldn’t either require some sort of tracking system to keep the panels pointed at the sun or would this method still give the same results as the sun moved across the sky.
ThankX again

cool. i wanted to do this kind of test myself.
for cooling i would use a natural circulation copper piping that would also heat up some hot water for your house at summer. and at winter ofcourse you have to drain system because ice could damage your system. I think its worth to try since you shown >30 % more output

They have an elaborate cooling heat sink system.

3. There was talk of a film of water running over the cell increasing the amount of light energy hitting the cell. It would seem to me that unless a larger surface area of water was used to form a lens, no real gains could be had. Am I wrong?

I basically am going with the majority here. I believe running water over the components to cool them and use the water for household hot water. I would say experiment with running it over/under/both and combining that with the use of heat sinks.

There is a high efficiency solar panel made to this use, to concentrated a lot of solar light into a small panel. It have a cooling system that removes heat from the panel and warms water.
