- Furthermore, according to the invention, said support layer and said insulating layer can have one or more overlapped openings so as to permit passage of light between support beams and/or installation of a skylight.
- Advantageously, according to the invention, said insulating layer can be placed between said support layer and said solar concentration linear means, or it can be placed under said support layer.
- Always according to the invention, said insulating layer can be comprised of polyurethane.
- Still according to the invention, said support beams can have a substantially “Y” shaped section.
- Furthermore, according to the invention, said power generation system can be a co-generation system and preferably a tri-generation system.
- Advantageously, according to the invention, said system can be applied to a building, support beams being fixed to the bearing structure of said building.

Thus, thermal carrier fluid is heated at high temperature (that can be even higher than 800° C.) and is used as primary energy in order to operate, e.g. an electric generator (not shown in the figure). - Said thermal carrier fluid, once cooled at the outlet of the generator, can be used for heating and/or producing conditioning hot water and/or cooled water (or for industrial processes) using an absorption frigorific. In other words, energy accumulated can be employed into co-generation systems, for example for producing at the same time electric and thermal energy, but also into tri-generation systems that, as known, besides permitting production of electric power, permit employing thermal energy recovered from transformation also to produce frigorific energy, or refrigerated water for conditioning or industrial processes.
- Each receiving
tube 4 is preferably comprised of steel and it is protected by a further under vacuum glass tube or by an under vacuum glass chamber 9. - A mechanical solar follower mechanism (not shown in the figures) is connected to the receiving
tube 4, suitable to orient it with respect to solar rays in order to permit a better efficiency. - Structure according to the present invention can be also comprised by a honeycomb technology permitting to the structure to be insulated and self-supporting.
