ABSTRACT:
A solar energy concentrator including individually curved mirror slats arranged on a truss-type support structure to collectively form a substantially arcuate surface for concentration of incident radiation upon an elongated absorber. The reflector and absorber are fixed relative to one another by truss members, and the combined assembly is reciprocatingly rotatable by a linear actuator for tracking the position of the sun. The absorber includes fluid transfer tubes enclosed in a vacuum sealed multiple glass tube assembly.
