1. A solar-energy-concentrating device comprising:

  • a. a reflector-concentrator panel including a reflective surface having a longitudinal (X) dimension and a transverse (Y) dimension;

    b. a support frame to support the reflector-concentrator panel in position to intercept and reflect solar radiations;

    c. and a radiant-energy-absorbing device operatively associated with the frame and upon which the reflected solar radiations are focused, said radiant-energy-absorbing device being spatially related to said reflector-concentrator panel so that the shadow cast by said radiant-energy-absorbing device normally does not fall upon the reflective surface of said reflector-concentrator panel;

    d. and means interposed between said radiant-energy-absorbing device and said support frame to maintain said radiant-energyabsorbing device horizontal.
