ABSTRACT:
A reflector assembly for a solar energy system including a circular dish-shaped concentrator which may be oriented towards the sun. The concentrator provides a conical flux concentration with a circular, cross-sectional image. A photovoltaic receiver with a square surface is positioned partly within the flux concentration . The reflector assembly includes reflector elements for redirecting concentrated flux from marginal portions of the flux concentration image to corner portions of the receiver surface.
