Der Wechsel zwischen Absorption und Reflektion der Globalstrahlung verhindert im Extremfall die Überhitzung der Anlage. Dadurch ist die Optimierung der Transmission der Globalstrahlung durch die transparente Außenabdeckung möglich. Gleichzeitig kann der Wärmedurchgangswert unter Ug /2-W / m2K gehalten werden, was bei herkömmlichen Flachkollektoren nicht möglich ist, da sie eine ortsunveränderliche Absorber Ebene haben.Diese Einreichung zur Patentierung beinhaltet die geniale, mechanisch-steuerbare Absorption der Globalstrahlung, wodurch einerseits die drohende Überhitzung des Kollektors verhindert wird und gleichzeitig über den maximalen Lichteinfall auf Meeresspiegelebenen hinaus eine stärkere Absorption der Globalstrahlung durch Bündelung von direkter und indirekter Einstrahlung ermöglicht wird. Durch diese, weitaus höhere Absorption pro Quadratmeter wird ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Bekämpfung der dramatischen Klimaveränderung geleistet. Wir müssen alle Möglichkeiten zum Ausbau und Effektivierung regenerativer Energien ausschöpfen.
