Patent ID: 8030605

Claim:
Apparatus for deflecting received solar energy comprising: a target, and reflectors for deflecting solar rays on to the target, the reflectors each being pivotable about a respective axis for tracking in accordance with the azimuth of the sun in the course of a day, wherein the respective axis is a component part of a common axis arrangement that movably inclines to track in accordance with the midday height of the sun in the course of a year, wherein the reflectors include a first reflector for deflection of solar rays through a first plane angle out of a plane of the path of the sun, the first reflector being coupled to a first axis, wherein the first axis is constructed and arranged to tilt with respect to an orientation plane of the common axis arrangement through a first axis angle in a first rotational direction, wherein the first reflector is constructed and arranged to tilt with respect to the first axis through a first reflector angle in a second rotational direction while the first axis tilts in the first rotational direction, and wherein the first rotational direction is oriented opposite to the second rotational direction.
