An aspect of the present disclosure is a receiver for receiving radiation from a heliostat array that includes at least one external panel configured to form an internal cavity and an open face. The open face is positioned substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis and forms an entrance to the internal cavity. The receiver also includes at least one internal panel positioned within the cavity and aligned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the at least one internal panel includes at least one channel configured to distribute a heat transfer medium.

1. A receiver comprising: a first tube comprising a first outer surface;a second tube comprising a second outer surface;a third tube comprising a third outer surface; anda fourth tube comprising a fourth outer surface, wherein:a first portion of the first tube, a first portion of the second tube, a first portion of the third tube, and a first portion of the fourth tube are aligned substantially parallel to a first axis,the first tube and the second tube are adjacent to each other such that the first outer surface and the second outer surface form a first planar structure,the third tube and the fourth tube are adjacent to each other such that the third outer surface and the fourth outer surface form a second planar structure,each tube is configured to receive and discharge a heat transfer fluid,at least one of the first outer surface, the second outer surface, the third outer surface, or the fourth outer surface has a surface specularity between 4 mrad and 1500 mrad,at least one of the first outer surface, the second outer surface, the third outer surface, or the fourth outer surface comprises a ceramic, andat least one of the first planar structure or the second planar structure is configured to receive radiation such that at least a fraction of the radiation transfers heat to the heat transfer fluid. 2. The receiver of claim 1, wherein the first planar structure is substantially flat. 3. The receiver of claim 1, wherein the first planar structure is not flat. 4. The receiver of claim 1, wherein the first tube and the second tube are in physical contact with each other. 5. The receiver of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first tube or the second tube has a diameter between 0.5 cm and 1.5 cm. 6. The receiver of claim 5, further comprising a space positioned between the first tube and the second tube. 7. The receiver of claim 6, wherein the space is between 0.25 cm and 5 cm. 8. The receiver of claim 1 wherein: the first tube further comprises a first outlet,the second tube further comprises a first inlet, andthe first outlet and the first inlet are fluidly connected by a bend. 9. The receiver of claim 1, wherein: the first tube further comprises a second portion aligned substantially parallel to a second axis that intersects the first axis at an angle B, andthe second tube further comprises a second portion aligned substantially parallel to the second axis. 10. The receiver of claim 9, wherein the angle B is between 90 degrees and 155 degrees. 11. The receiver of claim 1, wherein the first planar structure and the second planar structure are separated by a distance D to form a cavity between the first planar structure and the second planar structure. 12. The receiver of claim 11, wherein the distance D is between 6 inches and 6 feet. 13. The receiver of claim 11, wherein: relative to the first axis, a first proximal edge of the first planar structure is aligned with a second proximal edge of the second planar structure,an opening is formed by at least the first proximal edge and the second proximal edge, andthe opening is configured such that the radiation passes through the opening. 14. The receiver of claim 1, wherein: the third tube further comprises a second portion aligned substantially parallel to a second axis, andthe fourth tube further comprises a second portion aligned substantially parallel to the second axis. 15. The receiver of claim 1 wherein: the third tube further comprises a second outlet,the fourth tube further comprises a second inlet, andthe second outlet and the second inlet are fluidly connected by a bend. 16. The receiver of claim 15, wherein the first tube and the fourth tube are fluidly connected. 17. The receiver of claim 1, wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises supercritical carbon dioxide.
