Solar field and method for assembling the solar field

Abstract

A method for automatically assembling a solar field is provided with following steps: a) Providing at least one solar collector unit with a radiation concentrator collector including a radiation absorber with an absorber tube for a flow-through of a heat transfer medium and a parabolic mirror for focusing solar radiation onto the absorber tube of the radiation absorber for heating up the heat transfer medium flowing through the absorber tube; b) Transporting the solar unit to a target location of the solar field; and c) Assembling the solar unit on the target location of the solar field. Additionally a solar field with a plurality of prefabricated solar collector units is provided.
