Abstract

Solar energy has piqued people's curiosity since the dawn of civilization, and the technology for harvesting it has advanced at a rapid pace. The development of technology to increase the efficiency of the solar system is of critical relevance due to the energy difficulties that civilization has been facing. Scientists have used the solar concentrated system for several years since it allows for the concentration of solar energy into a concentrate, allowing for a significant increase in energy efficiency. A parabolic dish setup is described in this article as a dish-shaped concentrating collector that reflects solar energy onto a receiver located at the focal point. This concentrator is set atop a framework with assumption of a two-axis tracking system to track the sunlight. Typically, the acquired heat is utilized directly by a heat engine constructed on the receiver that travels with the dish. Typically, the acquired heat is utilized directly by a heat engine constructed on the receiver that travels with the dish. The suggested dish could achieve very high temperatures and might be utilized in solar reactors to generate high-temperature solar fuels. Even though dishes are seldom utilized commercially for power production, engines are now favored for power conversion. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to explain the benefits of this technology in a world where fossil fuel usage is a genuine issue that society must address.
