loops
Explanation:
"¿QUÉ ES UN LAZO?
La palabra LAZO en un campo solar designa a un conjunto de espejos unidos en serie que tienen el objetivo común de elevar la temperatura del fluido térmico que circula a través del tubo central (tubo absorbedor) hasta los 393ºC, temperatura a la que se vuelca al colector principal que lo retorna hasta el bloque de potencia para producir vapor. Un campo solar de una central termosolar tiene un número variable de lazos, que dependen fundamentalmente del rendimiento de la turbina, de los rendimientos óptico y térmico de los colectores que forman el lazo y de que la planta cuente con un sistema de almacenamiento térmico. Teniendo en cuenta todos esos parámetros, el número de lazos oscila entre 90 y 165 aproximadamente"

"The basic component of the solar field is the solar collector assembly (SCA). The project in the Imperial Valley will use 92 loops for the solar field; each loop includes six SCAs. Each SCA includes 224 mirrors, an independent positioning system and local control system."

"Each of the four units will have its own solar field comprised of solar collector loops arranged in parallel groups connected to supply and return header piping. [...]
Parabolic Trough Collector Loop. Each of the collector loops consist of two adjacent rows of SCAs, each row is about 1,300 feet long. The two rows are connected by a crossover pipe. HTF is heated in the loop and enters the header, which returns hot HTF from all loops to the power block where the power generating equipment is located."

arrays


Explanation:
The term array is commonly used to refer to groups of interconnected panels.

i) "La palabra LAZO en un campo solar designa a un conjunto de espejos unidos en serie..." (ref. 1).

ii) "A heliostat array is a collection of these heliostats used to focus sunlight continuously on a central receptor..." (ref. 2).

Both links look pretty useful.
