A floating body includes a main body having first and second surfaces opposite to each other and a first side surface connecting the first and second surfaces and first and second joining parts located on the first side surface to be opposite to each other in a first direction parallel to a ridge line defined by the first surface and the first side surface. The first and second joining parts each include a first portion located on the first side surface and a second portion connected to the first portion to face the first side surface. End portions of the first and second joining parts face each other. A minimum distance between the end portions is greater than twice a width of the second portion in the first direction, and is smaller than a minimum distance between the first portions of the first and second joining parts.

A system and mechanism that redirects sunlight towards a target destination. The system has an array of double prismatic discs that are controlled by a control module that includes a light detecting module. The system is modular and will work for any elevation and azimuth of direct sunlight. The system will further provide one or more remote functionalities. The system can be used to provide collimated solar side or top illumination for indoor spaces, directly or in combination with reflectors. The system may be combined with a hybrid solar lighting (HSL) panel to provide indoor illumination through optical fiber cables. The system may be combined with a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) panel or with a concentrated solar thermal (CST) panel to produce electricity or heat respectively. The system replaces the solar tracker typically used in these applications, which enables the assembly to be integrated in buildings and vehicles without altering their aesthetics.

A solar reflector assembly is provided for generating energy from solar radiation. The solar reflector assembly is configured to be deployed on a supporting body of liquid and to reflect solar radiation to a solar collector. The solar reflector assembly has an elongated tube having an inner portion to facilitate liquid ballast, made of semi-rigid material and a flat section built into a wall of the tube or attached to the wall of the tube. A reflective material attached to said flat section of the wall of the tube to reflect solar radiation. The elongated tube has an axis of rotation oriented generally parallel to a surface of a supporting body of liquid. The elongated tube may be elastically or plastically deformed by application of a torque along its length, so as to bring flat-surface normal vectors at each end of the tube largely into alignment with each other.
