The present invention relates to a buoyant photovoltaic energy generation unit and a buoyant photovoltaic energy generation apparatus. The buoyant photovoltaic energy generation unit comprises: a base plate which is formed in a planar shape and which can float on water; a plurality of planar heat sink plates which are coupled to a bottom of the base plate so as to be disposed under a surface of water when a buoyant photovoltaic energy generation unit floats on water and which function as a rudder; a plurality of thermoelectric element modules which come in contact with a top surface of the base plate; a casing, an upper portion of which is made of a transparent material, in which an empty space is formed, and bottom edges of which are coupled to edges of the base plate; a plurality of condensing lenses which are disposed on an upper portion of the casing in order to condense solar energy; a heat plate which comes in contact with top surfaces of the thermoelectric element modules and which collects solar energy condensed by the condensing lenses; and a control member which controls a direction of rotation of the heat sink plates. According to the present invention, the heat sink plates function as a rudder, and thus a direction of rotation of the heat sink plates can be controlled based on a direction of water flow, thereby reducing resistance attributable to water. Accordingly, rocking can be minimized and the amount of generated power can be maximized.

    본 발명은 판 형상이고 수상(水上)에서 부유(浮遊) 가능한 베이스판; 상기 베이스판의 하측에 결합되어 수상에서 부유시 수면 아래에 구비되며, 키(rudder) 역할을 하는 판 형상의 복수의 방열판; 상기 베이스판의 상면에 맞닿도록 배치되는 복수의 열전소자 모듈; 상부가 투명한 재질로서 내부에 빈 공간이 형성되고, 하단이 상기 베이스판의 가장자리와 결합되는 케이싱; 태양에너지를 모으기 위해 상기 케이싱의 상부에 배치되는 복수의 집광렌즈; 상기 복수의 열전소자 모듈의 상측과 맞닿도록 배치되며, 상기 집광렌즈에서 모아진 태양에너지가 집중되는 히트 플레이트; 및 상기 방열판의 회전방향을 조절하는 컨트롤부재를 포함하는 부유식 태양에너지 발전유닛 및 장치에 관한 것이다. 이러한 본 발명에 따르면, 방열판이 키(Rudder) 역할을 하여 물의 흐르는 방향에 맞춰 회전방향을 조절해 물의 저항을 줄여 흔들림을 최소화하여 전력생산량을 극대화시킬 수 있다.
