“…Concentrated solar power (CSP) technology is one of the way to generate electricity by producing heat when sunlight focuses on a receiver [6,[12][13]. This technology uses optical component either mirrors or lenses or any reflective type material to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a small beam to heat up the receiver for steam converted to electricity [7][8][9].…”

“…While the parabolic trough is used in a variety of applications including industrial steam production for electricity, process heat application, large scale heating and cooking [20][21][22]. The linear fresnel reflectors are made up of thin mirror strips to focus daylight onto tubes through which working liquid is pumped for fixed point energy generation applications [6,23]. The transform of energy needs the strong tracking system…”

“…The modes of these drives are single axis and dual axis including temperature, solar irradiation and installed system area factors. The active drive type tracking system is much adopted drive compared to passive drive with single axis, vertical single axis and azimuth dual axis tracking Modes [6][7][8]. Europe, US, India and China are using tracking system to enhance the efficiency of solar thermal power technology.…”

This paper demonstrates the designing parameters of a solar parabolic dish prototype for rustic areas with great solar irradiance rate availability, where have no access of electricity services or low-income people survives to buy a stove (electric or gas). The solar parabolic dish prototype intends a solution against these types of remedies and pursues solar light to work. The parabolic dish has a polished surface, where the solar radiations fall and collected at a single concentrated focal point. At this point the collected form of energy is used to derive different thermal applications like as; cooking & heating with single and dual axis schemes. This paper discusses the important stages of dual axis prototype; implementation, solar location strategy, the analysis in terms of theory, structural design & material. The dual axis prototype is implemented through the help of Arduino chipboard that is easily in maintenance, along with that this prototype is configured with anti-lock H-bridge (L298) module to overcome the control circuit complexity and AVR modules. Two rotational motors of 12V are installed on 4*4ft designed aluminum frame with a dual-axis tracking system. The jerks among trackers are also reduced with this prototype which maintains the experimental declination angle about .To finish, this paper results that parabolic solar dish tracker obtains 3.43% improved power efficiency in comparison of photovoltaic panel tracker.
