Solar collector array

That portion of the solar energy facility containing components that track and capture sunlight and convert it to other useful forms of energy, typically heat. All such solar collector arrays are typically composed of mirrors, receivers containing some form of heat transfer fluid, and support structures and controls that allow the mirrors to track the sun over the course of the day to maximize solar energy capture. Together, all components of the solar array make up what is known as the solar field of a solar energy facility.
