Blind approach in constructing high heat solar collectors with the one-stage light flux concentration is presented. Shown are diverse multielement optical configurations that can be built on the basis of a blind-type concept. Their two main versions using the set of concave parabolic reflecting elements are described. A preliminary estimation of the flux concentration level for a circle-blind collector shows it reaching up to half of the thermodynamic limit.
