Abstract
An improved solar collector system includes a reflective surface to reflect solar radiation onto an energy receiver. The reflective surface is disposed along the surface of a movable support panel which is a monocoque sheet metal construction. Suitable control equipment is affixed to the support structure to enable the reflective surface to be oriented toward the sun to achieve maximum solar energy recovery.
