A solar photoelectric module comprises a composite parabolic solar energy concentrator having an aperture angle a and contrived in the form of a sealed gas-filled bulb. The side walls of the bulb bend on a predetermined radius to a cylindrical part thereof beside a concentrator radiation outlet surface which is coated with an inside reflecting coating. A photoreceiver having a cooling system is arranged inside the cylindrical portion of the bulb with a gap separating it from the walls. The cooling system disposed inside the concentrator bulb comprises a metal heat sink with air cooling ribs. The invention prolongs the service life of the module, improves its dependability and efficiency, and reduces its cost.
