ABSTRACT:
Solar energy concentrator system employs structure permitting ready adjustability of flexible sheet concentrators to maximize solar radiation reflectability therefrom in accordance with seasonal posture of the sun. The invention utilizes structural components which represent various parameters of an ellipse. Thus, the concentrators are shaped in the form of an inverted-V and their apexes shiftable, by means of a pivotable rod, along a curve of substantially constant radius when the free ends of the concentrators are substantially secured at points forming the foci of the ellipse to thereby vary the angles the faces of the concentrators make with the sun.
