Solar Paraboloid technology

Current Context : Solar paraboloid technology is emerging as a potentially transformative solution to grapple the urgent need to transition to renewable energy in the world.

ABOUT SOLAR PARABOLOIDS

• It is an advanced form of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and operates using a Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) system.
• It consists of long, parabolic mirrors that focus sunlight onto a receiver tube positioned at the focal line of the mirror.
• Advantages : it has ability to operate at higher temperatures, up to 300C, significantly increasing thermal efficiency and reduce heat loss.
