DEVELOPING METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING SOLAR CONCENTRATORS AND IMPROVING THEIR EFFICIENCY

Abstract

A solar concentrator (solar furnace) is a device that collects solar energy and concentrates it at a single point. This device is primarily used to convert solar energy into heat. Solar concentrators work through various methods, but all of them focus sunlight to a single point, collecting the energy and converting it into usable heat. This source provides a brief description of the simplest method to build solar concentrators for use in laboratories.
