Abstract:
The sustainability of our ecosystem is under threat due to the frequent use of fossil fuel for cooking purpose in the rural communities. Therefore, efforts are being made to replace our existing cooking fuel with renewable energy source. This report describes the creation of a senior project. It recounts the steps taken from the initial design stages and choice of a parabolic solar concentrator. The design fabrication and testing of a solar parabolic dish concentrator for application in remote areas is presented in this project. The solar concentrator was design and fabricated with low cost available material and skills that can be operate and easily repaired by the users and can be track manually to follow the movement of the sun. The study also reveals that the concentrator can be used for cooking and drying purpose.
