Solar energy collector system

A solar energy collector system which includes:

• a group of reflectors arranged in parallel rows, the reflectors being supported at least at ground level;
• two spaced-apart target receiver systems located one at each end of the group of reflectors, the receiver systems being supported above ground level and being elevated relative to the group of reflectors;
• support structures pivotally mounting the reflectors, with some reflectors being permanently oriented angularly to reflect incident solar radiation toward one of the receiver systems and other of the reflectors being permanently orientated angularly to reflect incident solar radiation to the other of the receiver systems;
• the reflectors in the group being arranged in two sub-groups with a majority of the reflectors in each of the sub-groups being orientated permanently toward a respective one of the receiver systems;
• and
• a drive means imparting pivotal movement to the reflectors;
• wherein the drive means imparts pivotal movement to at least a majority of the reflectors in the group substantially simultaneously through the same angle to maintain reflection of incident solar radiation toward the receiver systems.
