• This paper reports the design, construction and testing of a
parabolic dish solar steam generator. Using concentrating
collector, heat from the sun is concentrated on a black absorber
located at the focus point of the reflector in which water is
heated to a very high temperature to form steam. It also
describes the sun tracking system unit by manual tilting of the
lever at the base of the parabolic dish to capture solar energy.
The whole arrangement is mounted on a hinged frame
supported with a slotted lever for tilting the parabolic dish
reflector to different angles so that the sun is always directed to
the collector at different period of the day. On the average
sunny and cloud free days, the test results gave high
temperature above 200°C.
