摘要： Solar energy reflector, collector, array, and other equipment for converting solar energy to e.g. thermal energy. A reflector or collector may, for instance, comprise a plurality of longitudinal rails; a rib engaging and spanning the plurality of longitudinal rails; and a first mirror panel. The rib of the reflector or collector may have a slot that is parabolic or in the shape of a section of a parabola. A portion of the mirror panel such as an end portion or a portion located away from the ends may be positioned within the rib's slot.
