ABSTRACT:
Applicant's invention is a lightweight solar collection system, supported overhead, having a parabolic reflecting trough which continuously rotates about a fluid-filled collection conduit located at the trough's focal point. The system is supported overhead preventing bending of the collection conduit, ensuring that solar rays reflected off the trough will continuously focus on the conduit. A tracking system, cooperating with the reflection assembly, monitors the location of the sun, cuing the motor when rotation of the trough is required for maximum heat collection. The efficiency acquired through a reflection assembly supported and braced overhead used in cooperation with a system monitoring movement of the sun, allows solar heat collection for operation of a cooling and heating unit simply and economically.
