(under subclass 634) Apparatus having a device which captures randomly reflected solar radiation which would otherwise escape or unintentionally be directed away from that portion of the converting means where the radiation is to be absorbed by the converting means. [figure] [caption]A device called Solar Trap for concentrating and collecting the solar energy is disclosed. Said Solar Trap employs, firstly, the principle of the light funneling as means for concentrating
the sunlight and secondly, the principle of the repeated incidence as means for enhancing the absorption of the concentrated sunlight.
