Abstract

A solar energy utilization unit comprises a solar radiation concentrating optics and a solar radiation receiver including a first receiver component designed to convert into electric energy radiation in a first part of the solar spectrum, and a second receiver components designed to convert into electric energy radiation in a second part of the solar spectrum which is different from said first part. The solar radiation concentrating optics comprises a concave primary reflector adapted to reflect incident solar radiation towards the secondary reflector, and a convex secondary reflector adapted to reflect radiation in the first part of the solar spectrum into the first receiver component and also to transmit radiation in the second part of the solar spectrum into the second receiver component. The primary reflector is formed with a centrally disposed opening, via which the first receiver component is adapted to receive the radiation reflected by the secondary receiver. The primary receiver may have central and peripheral components, wherein the central component is made of a material which withstands heat better than the material from which the peripheral component is made.
