Abstract

See full text

A solar energy harvesting and storage system is disclosed having a dual-sided lithographically integrated light-to-electrical energy converter. The integrated light-to-electrical energy converter has a dual-sided photovoltaic cell, a compound optical structure and a plurality of integrated DC to AC converters. Also disclosed is a dual-axis solar tracking system upon which the dual-sided lithographically integrated light-to-electrical energy converter is mounted. The dual-axis solar tracking system has two stages of tracking mounts, each tracking mount has a plurality of leaf-springs in a vertical arrangement. The leaf springs have differential coefficients of expansion and contraction so that each tracking mount tracks a solar light source in an orthogonal direction from the other tracking mount.
