ABSTRACT:
A collector and concentrator of the nonimaging type for radiant energy, and particularly for solar energy, which includes a plurality of longitudinally-extending, generally trough-shaped channels having curved facing, reflective walls. The upper extremity of the channel defines an entrance aperture and the lower extremity defines an exit aperture. The walls are constructed of rectangular, flexible and deformable sheets or vanes attached along one edge to a longitudinal frame member having surfaces which are sloped to reflect a selected collector angle at the exit aperture and which are deformed by being urged against one another along the edge opposite to the attached edge. A radiant energy utilization means is disposed in the exit aperture.
