<p>A reflector-solar receiver assembly and methods related to the reflector-solar receiver assembly are described. The reflector-solar receiver assembly contains a reflector and a solar receiver. The reflector has a substantially planar light reflecting face and the solar receiver has a substantially planar light receiving face. The normal direction of the light reflecting face and the normal direction of the light receiving face are at an angle of about 90°. The reflector-solar receiver assembly can be installed at an installation site on Earth by placing the substantially planar light reflecting face at an angle of about ?-23.5° or about ?+23.5° from the gravitation line of the installation site, ? is the latitude of the installation site, so that the substantially planar light reflecting face reflects at least a portion of sunlight to the substantially planar light receiving face during a majority of the clear days of a year.</p> |
