The invention relates to a solar system which includes at least one collector (20 Fig 2) mounted on a tower (10 Fig 2). The collector may have four modular interconnecting panels (21A-D Fig 2), and each collector has a support structure 23, for example a panel. On the support structure is at least one linear solar converter 22A-D, for example a line of solar cells, and a concentrator 24A-D for each linear solar converter which concentrates light received on the concentrator to a line parallel to said linear converter. An elongate array of mirrors (30 Fig 2) are controlled by heliostats to reflect sunlight onto the collector, the array of mirrors is substantially elongated in a direction parallel to each linear solar converter. The concentrator may be in the form of a prism 24A-D, and these may be protected by a transparent face plate 26. The face plate may be bonded to, or integral with the concentrator, and the face plate may have at least one of a UV protective layer, an anti-reflective layer, or a self cleaning layer. The panel may also include cooling pipes 25A-D. |
