Abstract: This invention concerns solar energy collection systems, especially systems that concentrate direct sunlight and then collect the radiant energy. This invention is of particular use for providing heat and power for buildings and industrial processes. A solar energy collection system comprising: a solar energy receiver; and a solar energy directing system to direct sunlight onto said solar energy receiver; wherein said solar energy directing system comprises a set of mirrors, each mirror having a moveable axis and comprising a plurality of facets, and wherein the facets of each mirror are configured to direct incoming sunlight to focus substantially at said receiver when said mirror axes are directed towards said receiver.
