Implementation of the invention

Figures 1 and 2 show a window-type device for generating electricity, including a frame 1 with a double-glazed window containing, with built-in photocells 2, an outer glass of a double-glazed window 3 configured to generate electrical energy from photons of light incident on it, and an inner glass of a double-glazed window 4, moreover, the inner glass double-glazed window 4 is made with the possibility of reflecting the spectrum of light photons back to the inner side of the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3, in addition, the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3 is made with built-in photocells 2, each of which is made in the form of a tube, and the built-in photocells 2 of the tubes are made with the possibility of generating electric energy due to light photons incident on them both from the outer side of the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3, and from the inner side of the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3.

The principle of operation of the claimed window-type device for generating electricity is described in the claimed method.

The production of electric energy by the outer glass of a double-glazed window 3 from photons of light incident on it, by means of photocells 2 built into it. photons of light on them both from the outer side of the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3, and due to the photons of light incident on them from the inner side of the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3 reflected from the inner glass of the double-glazed window 4, made with the possibility of reflecting the spectrum of light photons back to the inner side of the outer glass of the double-glazed window . The essence of the claimed solution is the presence of photocells in the form of tubes 2, i.e. due to their shape, they are able to actively absorb photons of light from different directions, including reflected photons of light from the inner glass of double-glazed window 4 (see Fig. 3).

Thus, the claimed design of a window-type device for generating electricity generates much more electricity, unlike analogs, the resulting electricity can be used for heating a house, for accumulating electrical energy in a battery, etc.

Tubes of photocells 2 in the preferred embodiment are cylindrical (as in the figures), but they can be made in other shapes, for example, rectangular in cross section (rectangular tubes of photocells).

In a private embodiment, the frame 1 contains a controller additionally connected to the outer glass of the double-glazed window 3 (and, if necessary, to the inner glass of the double-glazed window), which can control the received electricity in accordance with the program embedded in it, for example, to supply it to the home electrical network. In addition, an additional battery connected to the controller can be built into the frame 1 with a double-glazed window, in this embodiment, the controller will send the received electricity to the battery to use electricity, for example, at night, when there is no light to generate electricity.

The inner glass of an insulating glass unit (which can be made transparent) is made of high-strength tempered glass, on top of which a reflective surface is applied, or the reflective surface is built into the glass itself. Coating for the inner glass of an insulating glass unit, reflecting the part of the spectrum of sunlight containing photons, for example, can be used by manufacturers such as "Reflectasol", "Guardian Sun", "Stopsol", etc.

In addition, the angle of incidence of photons of sunlight and the angle of its reflection from the inner glass of the double-glazed window 4 also have a significant impact on the amount of electrical energy in order to achieve the maximum area of illumination of photocells. The principle corresponds to the Fresnel formula and the Fedorov shift. However, at any angle of incidence of photons of sunlight and the angle of their reflection from the inner glass of double-glazed window 4, electric energy will be generated more efficiently by the claimed device and method, in comparison with analogues where tubes of photocells 2 are not used and the reflective surface of the inner glass of double-glazed window 4 is not used. .

The outer glass of a double-glazed window is made, for example, of high-strength tempered transparent glass or another transparent sheet, with several tubes of photocells 2 fixed inside it, each of which in a particular embodiment can be made in the form of one transparent photovoltaic module (which can be made according to different types technologies such as "Onyx Solar", Bekar, which is used in civil and industrial construction of modern buildings and structures for glazing winter gardens, building facades, in the production of windows, fences, parking lots, billboards, awnings and in many other architectural projects) and connected to an inverter (and the inverter itself can be connected to the controller) for converting photons of light into electric current, and the transparent photovoltaic module is made of a cylindrical glass tube base, on top of which either one silicon film (simplified version) is applied, or two layer of films (a more efficient option), namely, one amorphous silicon film, which converts the visible part of the sun's spectrum into electrical energy, and the second microtransparent silicon film converts the sun's energy of the invisible infrared spectrum, thus, the claimed design generates much more electricity, unlike analogues with one film, therefore, it will be even more efficient to supply the external home network with electricity and accumulate more electrical energy in the battery, which will also affect the duration of work during the absence of photons of light.

Modern technologies and equipment allow the present invention to be implemented in large-scale production. The plant or enterprise has all the necessary equipment for the production of the claimed window-type device for generating electricity.

The claimed window-type device for generating electricity is made in the form of a single structure, namely, the individual components (or components) of the claimed window-type device for generating electricity are interconnected at one manufacturing plant (or manufacturing plant) by assembly operations, such as screwing, articulation, riveting, welding, soldering, crimping, flaring, etc.
