Abstract
A solar energy utilization system employing a glazed, insulated, collector box that houses a plurality of swingably mounted, conduit type, energy absorber assemblies; together with associated, arcuately shaped booster mirrors for collecting solar rays and reflecting them toward the absorber assemblies; and in which each absorber assembly includes an absorber tube provided with surrounding, overlapping, cylindrical baffles that may be said to function like iris diaphragms to control an aperture which receives the reflected rays.
