an effective aperture of 35 meters squared. Azimuth and elevation drive systems are computer controlled and provide maximum aperture utilization over the course of the year. Mirrors are curved glass, hard mounted on an aluminum substructure, concentrating the solar energy into a cavity absorber located on the collector optical axis. Show Less
