Energy, 1986, vol. 11, issue 10, 969-976

Abstract: A spherical reflector-distributed-focus system can be effectively used for the collection of solar energy. The absorber, which is always pointing towards the sun and whose axis passes through the centre of curvature of the reflector, tracks the sun continuously for maximum collection of solar radiation.
