The invention relates to a
solar water heater with a power generation function, which comprises a
solar water heater and a sun tracker, wherein the
solar water heater is fixed on the sun tracker. The solar
water heater consists of a support, a water tank, transparent long outer tubes, transparent long inner tubes, a heat-superconductive tubes, a photovoltaic
cell support and a photovoltaic
cell, wherein the transparent long outer tubes and the transparent long inner tubes can be transparent single-layer glass tubes and can also be combinations of transparent glass and
metal mixed tubes and transparent glass and plastic mixed tubes, the transparent long inner tubes are filled with any one of common water,
softened water,
purified water and mixed liquid of water and dibasic
alcohol, the heat-superconductive tubes are installed, the photovoltaic
cell support is installed outside the inner tubes and the photovoltaic cell is installed on the photovoltaic cell support. By using the transparent long tubes as natural light condensers, the
purchase cost of separate condensers is greatly saved, the power generation function of the
water heater is realized; and by filling the liquid capable of absorbing
infrared light in the transparent long tubes,
infrared light cannot irradiate the photovoltaic cell, the problem of efficiency decrease caused by heating of the photovoltaic cell because of light condensation is solved, the power generation efficiency of unit area is improved and the cost is reduced.
