This patent describes solar apparatus including a base portion, a supporting portion, a reflecting portion, a collecting portion and an actuating portion. The base portion includes a major surface disposed in a generally horizontal plane, a pivot member extending upwardly from the major surface adjacent the center thereof. The supporting portion includes a table section supported on the pivot member above the major surface and oriented substantially parallel thereto, a frame section extending upwardly from the table section. The reflecting portion includes a curved reflective section extending upwardly from the frame section. A lower part of the reflective section is pivotally connected to the frame section. A concave surface of the reflective section faces toward the pivot member. The collecting portion includes an elongated channel section disposed adjacent the lower part of the reflective section and substantially parallel thereto. The channel section has a curved surface facing the concave surface of the reflective section. The channel section is affixed with respect to the reflective section and pivotable therewith. The actuating portion includes extensible support assemblies extending between the table section and side edges of the reflective section, first drive means mounted on the table section adjacent an end thereof.
