ABSTRACT:
A solar energy reflector formed of a rigid frame that supports a thin reflective sheet and retains the sheet in a parabolic or like concave shape notwithstanding severe wind or like loads. The frame includes rigid end plates that define slots that have portions concentric with the focal axis of the parabolic surface so that the reflector can be installed onto and removed from a fixed water carrying pipe without disturbing the plumbing connections to the pipe. A drive system and solar energy sensor circuit connected thereto for assuring that the reflector is aimed at the sun throughout its traverse of the sky from dawn to dusk. A protective cover for the solar collector which both protects the highly reflective surface against deterioration and contributes to the overall strength of the collector.
