3. Ideal for Concentrating Solar

a. A single-axis tracking system. b. The mirrors concentrate the sunlight and focus it on a network of stationary steel pipes.c. Receiver is blackened for intense absorption.d. Sheltering the mirrors from the wind, to achieve higher temperature rates and prevents dust from building up on the mirrors.

A parabolic dishcollector is similar inappearance to a largesatellite dish, but hasmirror-like reflectorsand an absorber at thefocal point. It uses adual axis sun tracker

A parabolic dish system uses a computerto track the sun and concentrate the sun'srays onto a receiver located at the focalpoint in front of the dish. In some systems,a heat engine, such as a Stirling engine, islinked to the receiver.
