A solar heat receiver system includes multiple vertically extending solar heat receiving tubes for transferring solar heat to a heat transfer medium flowing through the solar heat receiving tubes, a rigid support structure, two first connectors to connect two spaced-apart portions of the solar heat receiving tubes to the rigid support structure so as to prevent horizontal movement of the two spaced-apart portions of the solar heat receiving tubes, and a second connector for connecting at least one intermediate portion of the solar heat receiving tubes to the rigid support structure, which intermediate portion is located between the spaced-apart portions. The second connector allows a limited amount of horizontal movement of the at least one intermediate portion of the solar heat receiving tubes due to a thermally induced bow of the solar heat receiving tubes. |
