A solar energy system including a storage tank, a heat conductive top, and elements extending into the tank for conduction of heat energy. The invention also discloses lens focusing means and tracking elements located on top of said tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A solar energy system comprising means defining a fluid storage tank and including fluid inlet and outlet conduits communicating with the said tank, a heat conductive top for said storage tank and including depending conductive elements connected to the underside of said top and adapted for immersion in the fluid filled tank, fixed frame means supporting a ring gear for rotation on a vertical axis which is located within said heat conductive top, a movable frame supported on said ring gear for rotation therewith and including a yoke structure pivotally supported on said ring gear for movement on a horizontal axis defined by said movable frame and said axis located in fixed relationship to said ring gear, lens means for focusing solar energy, said lens means mounted on said yoke structure and adapted to focus solar energy at said heat conductive fluid storage tank top, means for moving said yoke structure to permit said lens means to be aligned with the source of solar energy throughout the day, said yoke moving means including drive means mounted on said movable frame and said movable frame including parallel support tracks, a follower journalled on a shaft which is driven by said drive means and which follower engages said track to support said movable yoke structure and the lens means mounted therein.
2.
The solar energy system of claim 1 wherein said drive means includes an endless drive element, a motor to drive said endless element, at least one of said support tracks including a gear sector, said follower comprising a spur gear driven by said endless element to mesh with said support track gear sector, and said follower further including a slot provided in a radial arm portion of said yoke structure.

Description:
This invention relates generally to solar energy systems and deals more particularly with such a system having fluid storage means and adjacent means for focusing solar energy directly on the top of the container or tank for storing the heat retaining fluid
