ABSTRACT:
A solar energy system for collecting solar energy in the form of solar radiation and for storing and utilizing the energy collected including stationary solar energy collecting units each comprising a generally concave reflective surface for reflecting solar radiation onto a plurality of energy collectors positioned within the surface, the surface and the energy collectors positioned with respect to each other to provide varying concentration of solar radiation on each of the energy collectors depending on the angle of incidence of the solar radiation on the solar energy collecting unit. Each of the energy collectors is associated with a pipe for fluid circulation and solar energy absorption through which fluid to be heated by the solar radiation is circulated. The pipe may be surrounded by a glass enclosure and the space between the pipe and the glass enclosure may be evacuated to provide insulation. The surface of the glass enclosure may be reflective to provide for further concentration of solar radiation upon the pipe. The system includes thermostatically controlled valves associated with each of the energy collectors for selectively transferring away only that fluid which has been heated to a predetermined temperature.
