ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector for collecting, concentrating, and utilizing solar energy, including a target for transferring solar energy into another useable energy form and reflector positioned to increase the amount of solar energy reaching the target and prevent solar energy from escaping around the target, the target including in its preferred form a transparent envelope and a heat pipe containing a heat transfer fluid, the heat pipe having an evaporator portion disposed within the transparent envelope and an emergent condenser portion with a flange forming a dry thermal interface with a manifold for conducting heat energy directly from the heat pipe to the manifold.
