Abstract

A solar heat collector (10) includes a trough (20).extending a.long the ground (30). The solar heat collector (10) further includes a first region (40) within the trough. The first region extends along a length of the 'trough. The first region is configured to absorb solar radiation and to heat a fluid flowing within the first region with thermal energy resulting from the absorbed solar radiation. The solar heat collector further includes a second region (50) between the -first region and the ground. The second region is substantially thermally insulating the first region fro.m the ground.
