Solar energy is the most important, cleanest, and most economical source of energy for human beings, and is more affordable than other clean energies. Unfortunately, by 2016, only one percent of the energy sources of human energy have been solar energy, because the energy conversion equipment has very low returns and the cost of production, commissioning and occupation of land is high. Solar concentrators have a duty to increase the efficiency of these devices, which have been used for large-scale concave mirrors so far. Among the disadvantages of these mirrors is the high cost of mirror manufacturing and their low efficiency, which besides the effect of dust and probability The fracture and the maximum yield of 60%, which occupy a lot of ground, are virtually unprofitable. The task of concave mirrors is to focus on sunlight. Another device that can focus on light is a lens with a much higher efficiency, but the problem of making a large-scale lens makes this technology less widely used. The invention focuses on replacing the lens with a concave mirror in the solar concentrators, due to its higher efficiency, and uses a lens technology to build it, which is based on a cable structure and is much less expensive. Meanwhile, because of the fact that it is not necessary to place the lens in the direction of sunlight, it can move by the center of its location throughout the day. One of the advantages of this lens is the 75% efficiency, low cost, no need for the driver, light absorption and the greenhouse effect underneath, the use of PCM phase modifiers, fast and easy construction on a stadium scale, less land occupancy, use of The tensile strength and cable structure, which is the cheapest structure, the lack of vibration, the possibility of reaching the ideal lens, weight reduction with air balloon, using lens for preheating heated fluid, using lenses instead of power plant coolers, bionic geometry of the spider and the possibility of making the lens to convex sides.
