Abstract
Provided is a solar light concentrating system which realizes suppression of power generation costs by applying a receiverthat is capable of suppressing a manufacturing cost to a low level, facilitating recovery work when a failure occurs, and quickly recovering a heating medium circulating inside in case of an emergency. The receiveris formed by three-dimensionally combining multiple modules. At least a part of the modules is a trapezoid-shaped moduleB. The trapezoid-shaped module includes an upper headerB, a lower headerB being shorter than the upper header, and multiple heat receiving tubeswhich connect the two headers. The heat receiving tubes are formed by successively altering their cross-sectional shapes in away that makes each heat receiving tube shaped like a wedge that becomes narrower from its top toward its bottom in a front view, and like a wedge that becomes wider from its top toward its bottom in a side view.
