Solar apparatus includes a base portion, a supporting portion, a reflecting portion, a collecting portion and an actuating portion. The base portion includes a major surface disposed in a generally horizontal plane with a pivot member extending upwardly therefrom. The supporting portion includes a table section supported on the pivot member above the major surface and oriented substantially parallel thereto. A frame section extends upwardly from the table section. The reflecting portion includes a curved reflective section extending upwardly from the frame section with a lower part of the reflective section being pivotally connected to the frame section. The collecting portion includes an elongated channel section disposed adjacent the lower part of the reflective section and substantially parallel thereto, the channel section having a curved surface facing the concave surface of the reflective section and pivotable therewith. The actuating portion includes extensible support assemblies extending between the table section and side edges of the reflective section. A first drive is mounted on the table section adjacent an end thereof, the first drive being operatively connected to the extensible support assemblies for changing the length thereof. A second drive is mounted on the base portion and operatively connected to the table section to provide rotation thereof with respect to the base portion.
