    Abstract: A solar reflector made up of a plurality of contiguous rectangular panels which are mounted by supporting framework onto a rigid rotatable member which may rotate with respect to a fixed base. The framework includes a plurality of joists where each joist comprises a cambered member connected to a beam which in turn connects with a girder forming part of the rigid rotatable member. Each cambered member supports a long side of a reflector panel. Adjustment means are provided for moving a beam with respect to a girder whereby associated reflector panels may be accurately positioned with respect to the rigid rotating member.
