ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collection system including a reflector composed of a plurality of discrete planar reflector segments, each of uniform area and supported on a frame in an array having a substantially paraboloidal shape. Rotational movement of the frame about first and second axes is produced, respectively, by first and second drive mechanisms that respond to a control circuit to produce sun tracking movement of the array. A collector having a planar collection surface with dimensions that are two times those of each of the light reflecting surfaces is positioned to receive reflected energy therefrom. Preferably, the first rotational axis is substantially normal to the energy collection surface of the collector and is aligned substantially with the center of the array and the second rotational axis bisects the array. Energization of the first drive mechanism by the control circuit produces rotation of the frame about the first axis to maintain the second axis normal to a plane defined by the center of the array, the center of the collection surface and the sun while energization of the second drive mechanism produces rotation of the frame about the second axis to maintain the array normal to the bisector of the angle defined by the center of the array, the center of the collection surface and the sun.
