1. A trough collector for a solar power plant comprising:

  • a concentrator arranged in a pressure cell such that it can be loaded with pressure and constructed as a flexible membrane;

    wherein the concentrator concentrates solar radiation incident into the pressure cell under operating pressure towards a focal line region running outside of the pressure cell, and with an absorber element for absorption of a concentrated solar radiation;

    wherein the absorber element is arranged in the pressure cell; and

    wherein further within the pressure cell a secondary concentrator is provided which lies in a path of a concentrating radiation and is constructed in such a manner that the concentrated radiation is further concentrated toward a secondary focal line region or a secondary focal line at a location of the absorber element.
