ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector arrangement is comprised of a plurality of parallely arranged strip-like mirrors, preferably made of aluminum with a silver layer on a concavely curved surface and solar cells being arranged on the rear convexly curved surface, upon which the mirror next to the first mentioned one concentrates solar radiation. These mirror strips are suspended by means of cable inbetween two bars so as to change the orientation of them vis-a-vis the sun; the bars, in turn, are preferably pivotably connected to a telescopic mast, there being additionally guide cable for gathering the individual mirrors. The entire arrangement can be pulled together by pulling all mirrors in juxtaposed position and pivoting the transverse bars against the telescopic mast.
