A carrier and drive arrangement is disclosed for use in a solar energy reflector system. The arrangement comprises a) a carrier structure ( 10 ) having a platform ( 12 ) for supporting a reflector element ( 11 ), a frame portion ( 13 ) that includes hoop-like end members ( 14 ) between which the platform extends and support members ( 18 ) which support the frame portion by which of the end members and which accommodate turning of the carrier structure about an axis of rotation that is substantially coincident with a longitudinal axis of the reflector element, and b) a drive system incorporating an electric motor for imparting unidirectional turning drive to the carrier structure by way of the hoop-like end members ( 14 ).
