ABSTRACT:
A solar energy concentrator comprises an elongated, linear collector for receiving concentrated solar energy, mounted to extend longitudinally in an East-West direction and spaced above a supporting surface. An array of separate, elongated solar energy reflectors are provided for reflecting received solar energy upwardly and focusing the same along the collector. The reflectors are mounted in parallel, elongated rows, parallel of the collector and at a level below the same. The reflectors are aligned coaxially in end to end relation in rows and are formed into modular columns transverse or normal to the collector. Each reflector is mounted in a support for individual pivotal movement about a longitudinal axis parallel of the collector and a novel drive system is provided for interconnecting the supports and pivoting the same in unison to substantially continuously reflect the received solar energy in a focused manner on the collector as the angle of elevation of the sun's rays is changed during the day.
