NASA NTRS1979

Horizontally mounted solar collector

Solar energy is collected by using a vertical deflector assembly, a stationary reflector and a horizontally mounted solar collector. The deflector assembly contains a plurality of vanes which change the direction of the solar energy to the vertical, while constantly keeping the same side of the deflector facing the sun. The vertical rays are then reflected off the stationary reflector and are then absorbed by the collector.

NASA NTRS1976

Horizontally-mounted solar collector

System consists of three major components: vertical deflector assembly, stationary reflector, and motor driven tracking mechanism. Deflector assembly directs incident incoming energy to a vertical direction, using series of horizontally mounted vanes. Energy is then redirected via reflector to fixed collector.
