A solar concentrator device comprising a solar energy receiver; and a flat solar energy reflector arranged to reflect solar energy to said receiver, said reflector including a substantially square-shaped frame limiting an inner space, a plurality of individual flat reflective panels arranged in said space in a first group or rows extending in a first direction and a second group of rows extending in a second direction substantially transverse to said first direction and so that each of said panels is turnable about three mutually perpendicular axes, and means for mounting said panels so that they are turnable about said axes, said mounting means including first means which connect said panels in said rows extending in one of said directions so that said panels in each of said rows extending in said one direction are jointly turnable about a first one of said axes, second means for mounting each of said panels so that in each of said rows extending in said one direction each of said panels is turnable about a second one of said axes, and third means for mounting each panel in each of said rows extending in said one direction so that each of said panels is turnable about a third one of said axes. A solar concentrator device as defined in claim 1, wherein said receiver includes a box forming an inner chamber, a plurality of photovoltaic cells sealed with a clear plastic and accommodated in said chamber, and water filling said chamber and surrounding said photovoltaic cells.
