Abstract

A trough solar energy collector having a rotational axis comprising a collector tube (2801), a first reflective panel and a second reflective panel (601), each of said first and second reflective panels comprising a honeycomb or polymeric core (201) having an arc-shaped surface, a reflector (501) on the arc - shape surface of the polymeric core (201), cowling (702) along a longitudinal edge extending along the polymeric core and extending parallel to the rotational axis of the solar collector, the first reflective panel (601) being positioned to illuminate a first side of the collector tube (2801), the second reflective panel (601) being positioned to illuminate a second side of the collector tube (2801).
