ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns an apparatus (100, 200) for and a method of using solar energy. To provide an alternative apparatus (100, 200) and an alternative method of using solar energy which structurally requires less complication and expenditure and which is favorable in provision and operation, in accordance with the invention there is proposed an apparatus (100, 200) comprising a target (50) and reflectors (10, 12, 210) for deflecting solar rays on to the target (50) and a corresponding method, wherein the reflectors (10, 12, 210) are respectively pivotable about an axis (20, 220) for tracking in accordance with the azimuth of the sun (30) in the course of a day, wherein the axis (20, 220) is a component part of an axis arrangement (70, 270) which is inclinable for tracking in accordance with the midday height of the sun (30) in the course of a year. If necessary it is possible to achieve continuous focusing of the system by simple mechanical compensating mechanisms.
