Design and Fabrication of Solar Paraboloid Concentrator

Abstract

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is a unique renewable energy technology. CSP systems have the ability to provide electricity, refrigeration and water refining in one unit. The proposed technology is extremely helpful in improving the quality of life for many people around the world who lack the energy needed to live a healthy life. This project work is concerned with an experimental study under local climatic condition. It presents the designing of collector and performance of paraboloid collector. A spherical solar concentrator is fabricated with the easily available materials. From the test result and the collectors performance, the model is efficient for thermal applications.
