Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
In solar concentrators, it is known to provide large cylindrical parabolic solar energy reflectors which require precise fabrication to produce a surface free of focusing errors. This precise fabrication requires expensive tooling forms and, fixtures or molds to form the concentrator surface. The solar concentrator, constituting the present invention is provided, with means allowing for deformation and precise adjustment of the cylindrical parabolic solar energy reflecting surface of the concentrator. This means produces a geometrically correct concentrator surface which can be adjusted after fabrication to provide a sharp solar image on the receiver tube.
