Abstract: A concentrating solar energy system with a reflector having a specularly reflecting inner side and realized as a parabolic mirror with two axis steering which is carried by a base frame arranged in a support plane and which is provided with a receiver arranged in operation at, in front of or after the focal point of the parabolic mirror, with the parabolic mirror moreover being rotatable about an axis which stands at least substantially perpendicular to the support plane. The parabolic mirror is pivotable upwardly and downwardly about a pivot axis arranged in at least one of the region of the support plane and at a distance above or below the support plane. The pivot axis being displaceably arranged in at least one of a plane parallel to the support plane and in the support plane and with the displacement of the pivot axis contributing to the corresponding pivotal movement of the parabolic mirror.
