Zusammenfassung:A solar energy concentrating and collecting arrangement comprises laterally adjacent oblong concave reflectorconcentrators forming the roof of a building. Collectors are movably supported above and along the lengths of the reflectors for pivotal movement to zones of maximum confluence of solar energy rays reflected from the reflectors to follow daily and annual variations of the position of such zones. The collectors are ganged by ganged pivot arms each of which has a pivot axis parallel to the respective reflector. Each reflector has at least three radii, for enabling accommodation of wide daily and annual variations of the sun angles.
