Abstract
A photovoltaic array includes a plurality of generally planar cells, arranged in panels, a light collecting body having a solar energy collecting surface adapted to be oriented for receiving solar energy in a nominal direction which defines a nominal light source direction. The panels are spaced apart from each other in a direction perpendicular to the nominal light source direction and each has an active surface oriented on the body at an angle of less than 90.degree. relative to the nominal light source direction. The light collecting body is transmissive for redirecting light received on the light collecting surface onto the active surfaces of the panels.
