NOVELTY - The collector (900) has several solar receivers (906a,906b) including photovoltaic cells (912a,912b), which extends along longitudinal axis. The reflectors (910a,910b) reflect incident sunlight to solar receivers, respectively. Several shielding mirrors (902a,902b) extend along longitudinal axis, which are arranged over associated solar receiver to reflect incident light away from underlying associated solar receiver during the normal operation of solar collector. The shielding mirrors direct the reflected light to photovoltaic cell on one of the solar receivers.    USE - concentrating solar collector for use in a solar energy collection system.    ADVANTAGE - The shielding mirrors reflect incident light away from the underlying associated solar receiver during the normal operation of solar collector and direct the reflected light to the photovoltaic cell on one of the solar receivers so that the reliability, performance and efficiency of solar energy collection system can be improved. The shielding mirrors and reflectors are made of same materials so that the manufacturing time and cost of solar collector are reduced. The expansion of flux lines washes out the effect of any gaps formed between longitudinally adjacent shielding mirrors so that the uniformity of flux lines in the photovoltaic cell is ensured. The elevation of mirror by corresponding support structures creates a gap between the solar receivers and mirror so that the heat dissipation from solar receivers is improved. The acceptance angle of solar collector is increased. The tilting of solar receiver reduces the reflective losses from the receiver so that the amount of sunlight absorbed by the photovoltaic cell is improved. The extended shielding mirror can lead to efficiencies in electricity generation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for arrangement for use in solar collector.
