Abstrakt: We introduce a meter-class spherical heliostat for solar concentration in single-receiver industrial applications exceeding 1,200x concentration. A heliostat featuring an octagonal, 1.5m2 mirror and coupled wedge pointing mechanism with a mass-production target cost below $100/m2 is presented. Aggregate performance of the mirror form and solar tracking of five such heliostats are presented as they simultaneously direct sunlight to a fixed target over a daily solar cycle.
