A boiler for a solar receiver includes a first receiver panel having a plurality of substantially parallel boiler tubes fluidly connecting an inlet header of the panel to an outlet header of the panel. A second receiver panel has a plurality of substantially parallel boiler tubes fluidly connecting an inlet header of the panel to an outlet header of the panel. The boiler tubes of the second receiver panel are substantially parallel to the boiler tubes of the first receiver panel. The first and second receiver panels are separated by a gap. A panel expansion joint is connected to the first and second receiver panels across the gap, wherein the panel expansion joint is configured and adapted to allow for lengthwise thermal expansion and contraction of the receiver panels along the boiler tubes, and to allow for lateral thermal expansion and contraction of the receiver panels toward and away from one another, while blocking solar radiation through the gap.

A boiler for a solar receiver as recited in claim 1, wherein the first and second receiver panels are substantially coplanar. 3. A boiler for a solar receiver as recited in claim 1, wherein the first and second receiver panels are substantially perpendicular. 4. A boiler for a solar receiver as recited in claim 1, wherein a cross-section of the flexible panel expansion shield includes a first portion and a second portion, and a bend between the first and second portions at an angle with respect to first and second portions, wherein the first portion is directly affixed to the tubes of the first receiver panel and the second portion is directly affixed to the tubes of the second receiver panel, wherein the first and second portions are substantially co-planar with one another, and wherein the bend is configured to allow for lateral thermal expansion and contraction of the receiver panels toward and away from one another. 5. A boiler for a solar receiver as recited in claim 1, wherein a cross-section of the flexible panel expansion shield includes a first portion and a second portion, and a bend between the first and second portions at an angle with respect to first and second portions, wherein the first and second portions are substantially normal to one another, and wherein the bend is configured to block radiation leakage at corners of the boiler. 6. A boiler for a solar receiver comprising: a) a first receiver panel having a plurality of substantially parallel boiler tubes fluidly connecting an inlet header of the panel to an outlet header of the panel;b) a second receiver panel having a plurality of substantially parallel boiler tubes fluidly connecting an inlet header of the panel to an outlet header of the panel, wherein the boiler tubes of the second receiver panel are substantially parallel to the boiler tubes of the first receiver panel, and wherein the first and second receiver panels are separated by a gap;c) a panel expansion joint connected to the first and second receiver panels across the gap, wherein the panel expansion joint is configured and adapted to allow for lengthwise thermal expansion and contraction of the receiver panels along the boiler tubes, and to allow for lateral thermal expansion and contraction of the receiver panels toward and away from one another, while blocking solar radiation through the gap, wherein the panel expansion joint includes a flexible panel expansion shield configured to block solar radiation through the gap and to flex to allow for lateral thermal expansion and contraction of the receiver panels toward and away from one another, wherein the panel expansion shield defines elongated slots passing through the panel expansion shield and is attached to the first and second receiver panels by fasteners passing through the elongated slots to accommodate panel thermal expansion and compression along the slots. 7.
