The support panels include a plurality of concave recesses operable to receive bowl-shaped relfectors provided with polygonal rims so that the sides of adjacent reflectors will be in registry with one another. The support panels are provided with bolts, outwardly extending from the base of each recess, the bolts being received in slotted apertures in each reflector bowl for pivoting and fastening the reflector in a pre-selected position for focusing solar rays upon the collector. The collector includes a heat exchange media operable to conduct heat at extremely high temperatures for production of steam. A novel tracking system is also provided.
