Abstract

A focusing solar heat collector comprises a light reflective corrugated base surface, a plurality of spaced apart, light-transmitting conduits positioned in the corrugations of the reflective surface so that light reflected by the reflective surface is focused on the conduits, and an organic black liquid of high boiling point circulated through the conduits to receive the focused solar light.
