ABSTRACT:
A parabolic collector (10) is disclosed as including a plurality of molded plastic panels (12) secured to each other to define a dish type parabolic shape having a central axis A. Each panel (12) has sides including lugs (14,16) that snap into engagement with the lugs on the adjacent panels to secure the panels to each other. A collecting surface (18) of each panel has a segmental parabolic shape bounded by the sides of the panel. Each set of panels spaced from the central axis A a given distance have the identical construction as each other to facilitate molding of the panels. Except for central triangular panels, each of the panels are quadrilateral with truncated wedge shapes. Each quadrilateral panel has inner and outer curved sides (30,32) one of which includes male lugs (14) and the other of which includes female lugs (16) for securing the panels to adjacent panels. Each quadrilateral panel also includes radial sides (34,36) one of which includes male lugs and the other of which includes female lugs for securing the panels to adjacent panels.
