 ABSTRACT
 The development of a solar parabolic dish collector prototype for rural
areas with high solar resource availability, which have no access to
electricity service or budget resources to purchase a stove (electric or
gas).
 The solar collector prototype proposes a solution to solve these kinds of
issues and use sunlight to work it.
 Through an aluminium foil parabolic dish, solar radiation is concentrated
into a specific area called focus, where thermal energy is generated and
is used for cooking or fulfilling a necessity without high investment and
helping the environment.

 INTRODUCTION
 Solar energy is one of the alternative energy sources that has vast potential.
It is estimated that the earth receives approximately 1000W/m2 amount of
solar irradiation in a day.
 Amount of irradiation could generate around 85,000TW and estimates that
the current global energy consumption is about 15TW.
 The selection of type of energy source depends on economic,
environmental and safety considerations. Solar energy is considered to be
more suitable on the basis of environmental and safety considerations.
 The world energy requirement is increasing at a faster rate. Almost all the
non-renewable energy sources will be depleted in the near future. These
sources also cause environmental hazards. Thus the dependence on such
sources has to be reduced. Thus the only viable option to meet the future
energy requirement is to use the renewable energy sources.
