NOVELTY - The apparatus (1) has enveloping tubes (39) having an outer surface made of transmissive material and an evacuated internal atmosphere, heat pipes (45) running longitudinally within the enveloping tube and reflector devices (37) fixedly attached to an inner surface of enveloping tube. Light meeting the reflector device is directed to reflective filters (41). A first portion of light (74) filtered by the reflective filter is directed to photovoltaic devices (38) and a second portion of the light is transformed to sensible heat by the heat pipe and conducted through the heat pipe.    USE - Solar energy apparatus or collector tube, such as concentrating, tracking, hybrid evacuated tube solar energy apparatus for hybrid solar energy system (claimed) used for producing combinations of electricity, heat, and optionally transmitting light, from the sun.    ADVANTAGE - Provides a solar energy collection system capable of delivering thermal and electric power and delivering light filtered of infrared and ultraviolet (UV) and desirable for lighting. Provides hybrid photovoltaic-thermal system where a fraction of light is transformed to sensible heat and conducted through a heat pipe for solar thermal power in tandem with photovoltaic cell generating PV energy. Includes evacuated collector tubes with mixed outputs of direct current voltage, heat and usable light, to provide comprehensive shade and protection for optics and to suppress convection and conductive losses of collected heat from heat pipe due to the presence of evacuated atmosphere. Includes efficient Cassegrain sub-units and photovoltaic cell sub-assembly to minimize series circuit electrical losses due to voltage mismatch, to create sets of solar energy apparatuses matched by output and to reduce current of mismatched photovoltaic cells.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a hybrid solar energy system; and    (2) a method of generating solar thermal energy and solar photovoltaic energy.
