Abstract

The invention concerns an improved concentrated solar power collector, comprising - a frame intended to be mounted rotatable to a stand surface, according to a first axis perpendicular to the stand surface, - at least one solar concentrator fixed on the frame at a desired angle determined so that said solar concentrator is oriented at between 20 and 70° with reference to the stand surface and reflect or direct sunlight upwardly toward a heat pipe, connected to a steam network comprising a steam tank carried by said frame, wherein said frame is able to rotate automatically to provide an azimuth- tracking of the solar concentrator following the azimuth of the sun, wherein said steam tank works with a diffusion absorption cooling machine or a hot water heating arrangement, feeding a warm-water tank and an ice/cold- water tank, said warm-water and ice/cold-water tanks being directly connected to a house.
