An apparatus for capturing solar radiation of tracking type including a matrix array of a number of light receptors is disclosed. A first set of four shafts are disposed parallel to each other and parallel to a floor surface on which the apparatus is installed. A second set of four shafts are mounted on each shaft in the first set, and four light receptors per one shaft in the second set including 4×4 equal to 16 shafts are supported, thus providing a total of 64 light receptors. Each light receptor internally contains a mirror having four sections, and four parabolic mirrors of a reduced diameter which reflect light reflected by respective sections to the center of each section. Where the light receptors constitute a light collector which condenses and projects solar radiation into optical fibres, a conical opening having a reflecting surface is defined centrally in each section, with a light receiving end face of an optical fibre disposed at the bottom thereof. Where the light receptors constitute a heat collector which converts the solar radiation into heat to heat a heat exchange fluid, a photo-thermal conversion surface is formed in the form of a conical opening centrally in each section, with a channel for a heat exchange fluid disposed therearound.
