A solar unit assembly comprising:
- a plurality of solar collector units (2) having the same width arranged in at least one row,
- a receiver (4),
- a primary support element (5)
- a plurality of secondary support elements (6), and
- two side support elements (7),
- each solar collector unit (2) comprising a flexible reflector element (21) and a support structure supporting said reflector element and said support structure comprising a predefined number of profiles (22) per length unit,
- in which the plurality of solar collector units defines a longitudinal direction (x) and an arcuate direction (a),
- wherein the receiver (4) is connected to the primary support element (5), that the primary support element (5) is attached solely to the first row of one or more solar collector units (211, 212, 213) extending in the longitudinal direction and to the side support elements (7), and that the plurality of secondary support elements (6) are attached solely to the remaining row or rows of one or more solar collector units (221, 222, 223:
- 231, 232, 233 . . . 271, 272, 273) in the longitudinal direction and to the side support elements (7).
