AN IMPROVED SOLAR ENERGY CONCENTRATING SYSTEM HAVING REPLACEABLE REFLECTORS.

摘要

The present invention relates to an improved solar concentrating system incorporating replaceable solar energy concentrating reflectors. Prior systems typically required a structurally stable solar energy concentrating panel. The present invention uses a combination of structurally stable backing panels (10) and flexible solar energy concentrating reflectors (20), mounted on a collector support means (42, 44, 46, 48), to significantly reduce the ease and cost of replacing reflectors.
