ABSTRACT:
The reflector surface of the concentrator is formed of plastic type material and includes at least one layer of reinforcing material embedded therein. The concentrator has a parabolic concave inner reflective surface and is constructed either as a unitary member or by joining together a plurality of segmented sections. The reflective surface is provided by a plurality of side by side individual rectangular mirror segments at least partially embedded therein. The reflector is constructed by attaching a flexible backing sheet to one surface of a mirror, scoring the opposite surface in the form of a grid, fracturing the mirror along the grid lines, forming the backing sheet in the desired mirror configuration over a male mold member, positioning at least one layer of reinforcing material adjacent the non-reflective surface of the mirror segments spaced therefrom providing an opening or void therebetween, positioning a mating female mold member over and spaced from the reinforcing material thereby creating a void therebetween, sealing the female mold member to the male mold member circumferentially, filling the voids partially with a liquid expansive material that provides a pressure within the mold when expanding thereby providing strength to the base member and aligning the mirror segments to the desired configuration, curing the expanded expansive material and removing the mold members from the completed concentrator structure.
