Abstract

A solar photovoltaic cell system used for supply of electrical power for various uses. The cell system includes photovoltaic cells received around a tubular shaped, elongated tank. The tank is disposed in front of a concave light reflector. The light reflector is rotatably mounted on a latitude adjustable stand. The stand is also used to hold opposite ends of the tank. The light reflector is used for reflecting increased sun light onto the photovoltaic cells. Electrical energy from the photovoltaic cells is used to power various types of electrical applications.
