The alignment of a parabolic trough reflector and its receiver pipe in a solar thermal field for collecting sunlight energy can be verified by acquiring an aerial image of the parabolic trough reflector from above the thermal field while passing through the sun-receiver-vertices plane of the parabolic trough reflector. By analyzing the aerial image to determine whether any reflection of the sun is visible in the parabolic trough reflector in the aerial image, one can determine whether the parabolic trough reflector and its receiver pipe is properly aligned. If a reflection of the sun is visible in the parabolic trough reflector in the aerial image, the parabolic trough reflector and its receiver pipe are out of alignment and require an adjustment.
