Abstract
A light wave (solar) collector apparatus includes a preferably parabolic mirror configured to direct solar energy towards a secondary reflector, then through a gap in the mirror, and towards one or more secondary mirrors, each of the secondary mirrors positioned to direct the solar energy towards a solar collection target. The subsequent diversion achieved by the solar collector apparatus allows collection of solar energy several times denser than natural sunlight, and can be captured using a substantially compact system.
