ABSTRACT:
Solar collector device constituted by a pyramid-shaped structure comprising three faces 1, 2, 3 or more and a base 4. The face 1, on which various solar energy collecting means are mounted, is the only face used as a planar solar collector, the other faces 2, 3 serving merely to protect the overall device from the wind. The solar collector device is also provided with two different tracking systems: a first system, which operates in azimuth, enabling the pyramid-shaped structure, by a rotation about a vertical axis V, to maintain face 1 in the direction of the sun, and a second system, which operates in elevation, enabling face 1, by a rotation about a horizontal axis H, to keep an inclination normal to the sun's rays.
