A solar diffusion loss compensator and collimator that reduces loss due to reflection of non-perpendicular energy rays that are usually reflected and lost externally by providing a means to capture reflected energy from adjacent surfaces and redirecting such energy toward the focal plane comprising a transparent, multi-tiered, hexagonal structure having a series of internal recesses that selectively reflect (total internal reflection [T.I.R]) the light waves passing therethrough thereby focusing and concentrating said light for the storage and usage thereof. A reflector assembly surrounds the solar collector assembly to redirect light towards the vertical planes of the solar collector. The present invention improves flux densities in radiant energy applications by gathering diffused light and redirecting the rays so they may be compressed into dense parallel rays and directionally focused to suit a particular applications.
