In order to provide a converging solar module which achievesneffective electricity generation, as well as significant reductionnof costs and driving energy required to track the sun, a cell stagen20 carrying solar cells 16 is provided opposite to converging lensesn10. Some elastic members are provided between a pair of adjacentnside edges of the cell stage 20 and corresponding side walls of anvessel 18. Along the other pair of side edges, stage driving barsn24 are provided. The stage driving bars 24 are moved horizontallynby opening/closing operations of feeder valves X1, X2, Y1, Y2 andndrain valves X3, X4, Y3, Y4 thereby moving the cell stage 20nhorizontally in the direction perpendicular to the direction innwhich the stage driving bars 24 have moved. With an action of thenelastic members 22 and the stage driving bars 24, the position ofnthe cell stage 20 is adjusted such that the solar cells 16 thereonnare brought into a position where converged spots 14 are formed. |
