ABSTRACT:
For focusing and using solar energy, an apparatus comprises outer reflectors and inner back-reflectors distributed symmetrically with respect to an axis, which axis is maintained towards the sun during daylight hours. A heat collector is positioned along this axis beyond the reflectors and back-reflectors. In section by any plane passing through the axis, the reflectors form a continuous broken line and the back-reflectors a discontinuous broken line. The heat received in the collector can be used for heating water.
