Figure 26<br />

Ground Coverage with Horizontal Primary Axis (76%) [52]<br />

The reason that so much space is wasted in this arrangement is because of the rounded shape of<br />

the barrel defined by the rectangular shape of the conventional heliostat. However, other shapes<br />

exist, such as a hexagon, <strong>and</strong> can yield much better packing. Figure 27 shows the unimpeded<br />

space of the rectangular <strong>and</strong> triangular portions of the heliostat. The sum of the two volumes<br />

looks like Figure 27 (a)<br />

Figure 27<br />

Unimpeded Space Volume of Hexagonal Heliostats [52]<br />

Because of the linear sides of the pointed barrel, the heliostats can fit together with up to 100%<br />

ground coverage as seen in Figure 28.<br />
