Reflective aperture area was created by AlexMoerlein

Does the "reflective aperture area" term in the "Collectors (SCAs)" tab refer to total reflector area (i.e. reflector length times parabola length) or to area normal to the reflector (i.e. reflector length times reflector linear width)? It seems like the former makes more sense when describing the physical system, but the latter applies to DNI.
