Abstract
An electricity-generating system using solar heat energy comprises: a heat storage tank, a pair of heat-sensitizing units with valves, a steam turbine, a solar collecting system comprising a fixed body in the form of a mesh net having mesh openings, a condenser lens coupled to each of the mesh openings of the fixed body, a condenser unit installed at the bottom portion of the fixed body, which includes a collector lens that increases the concentration of energy focused through the condenser lens and transfers heat to the bottom of the body thereof; a heat storage tank combined with the bottom portion of the fixed body, which heats and stores the heat storage medium by heat energy transferred through the collector lens; a circulation conduit which has an upper plate-shaped coiled tube and a lower coiled circulation tube, which is stacked and contained in the heat storage tank.
