Abstract
[Problem] To present a solar heat collecting device capable of enhancing the heat collecting efficiency by effectively utilizing the sunlight entering an area near the end part of the reflector at the opposite side of the direction of location of the sun. [Solving Means] In the solar heat collecting device for collecting the reflected light of sunlight Sb, Sbentering a trough type reflectorhaving a parabolic section to a heat collecting pipeerected at a position of focus of the reflector, and transmitting energy to a heat medium passing inside of the heat collecting pipe, the solar heat collecting device is installed so that central axis Lof the reflectormay be directed along the north-south axis, and a plane reflectoris disposed orthogonally to central axis L, at the end part of the reflectorat the opposite side of the direction of location of the sun.
