Abstract
An exemplary solar energy assembly includes a body (10), a solar energy collecting component (20), and a lens module (30). The lens module is movably mounted to the body and is configured for concentrating incident solar radiation onto the solar energy collecting component. The solar energy collecting component is movably mounted to the body and is configured for converting incident solar radiation energy into electrical energy. The solar energy collecting component and the lens module are movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the lens module, the body, and the solar energy collecting component are stacked on each other. In the second position the solar energy collecting component and the lens module are moved away from the body so as to enable the lens module to concentrate incident solar radiation onto the solar energy collecting component.
