Abstract
A device () for concentrating solar radiation, having a concentrator means () suitable for concentrating solar radiation onto a concentration zone, and a receiver () for receiving solar radiation. The receiver () is connected to at least one element () suitable for deforming under the action of temperature, and referred to as a 'thermo-deformable element', each thermo-deformable element (), when the radiation coming from the concentrator means () is concentrated onto a concentration zone situated on said thermo-deformable element (), being suitable for changing shape in such manner as to cause the concentration zone to move towards the receiver () or as to cause the receiver () to move towards the concentration zone, so that the device () makes it possible, for a given position of the sun, and under the action of the solar radiation, to move the concentration zone from an initial position situated on a thermo-deformable element () to a final equilibrium position situated on the receiver ().
