Zusammenfassung:A solar energy collection system can include a plurality of heliostats configured to reflect sunlight to a target mounted on a tower. Each of the heliostats can include (i) a mirror assembly, which can include at least one mirror, at least one support arm and a pair of diagonals attached to each end of the support arm, the support arm attached to the backside of the mirror along its entire length, (ii) an elongated central support element, (iii) at least one connecting element configured to attach the mirror assembly to the elongated central support element. The location of attachment points on the at least one connecting element can define the curvature of the mirror in at least one dimension.
