Abstract

A solar collector concentrator having a generally hollow, tubular structure that is precision stamped to form a highly reflective inside surface conforming to a geometry that facilitates concentrating incident light/radiation to the output end. The concentrator may be a separate component separately formed by stamping a malleable stock material. The concentrator may be coupled to the base of a reflector in the collector. The concentrator and the reflector may be integrally formed together by stamping a malleable stock material. The relative positions of the integrally defined concentrator and the reflector are therefore passively aligned with high accuracy achieved from precision stamping. The secondary reflector may be formed by stamping.
