A system for solar energy utilization is described. The system comprises a solar receiver, a solar energy concentrator mounted on a pole extending from the solar receiver along the main axis of the system, and a solar tracking system. The solar receiver is configured for receiving solar energy from the sun and concentrating the received solar energy at a predetermined spot area. The solar receiver includes a plurality of flexible mirrors independent of each other and radially arranged around a main axis of the system. The flexible mirrors are configured to be either deployed for operation or collapsed, for example for transportation or in the cases of possible damage of the system. The solar energy concentrator is located at the predetermined spot area in which the solar energy reflected from said plurality of flexible mirrors is concentrated, and configured for converting the concentrated reflected energy into electric energy. The solar tracking system is configured for sensing position of the sun and tilting the system for directing the solar receiver towards the sun to receive and reflect maximum sunlight onto the predetermined spot area.
