ADVANTAGE - The device can gather, conduct and utilize visible light and UV and infrared lights from sunshine so as to improve utilization rate of solar energy.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The sunlight reflecting mirror is a rotary parabolic mirror with diameter of 1400 mm or 3000 mm, and the cold light reflecting mirror is a high temperature-resistant glass mirror. The light-conducting bar is a high temperature-resistant quartz glass bar with quite high light conductivity. The optical fiber is made of quartz, glass or plastic or optical fiber bundle. The heat exchanger is provided with a heat transfer medium radiating snake-shaped pipe i.e. radiating copper pipe.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a side view of a solar energy utilization device.
