A parabolic trough collector (PTC) is a type of solar thermal collector that is straight in one dimension and curved as a parabola in the other two, lined with a polished metal mirror. The sunlight which enters the mirror parallel to its plane of symmetry is focused along the focal line, where objects are positioned that are intended to be heated. In a solar cooker, for example, food is placed at the foc…

A parabolic trough is a special type of solar concentrator that has a parabolic cross section (it is parabolic in two dimensions) but is linear in the third dimension. The result is that the parabolic shape is extended linearly to make a long reflector. The shape of the reflector causes sunlight to be concentrated along a line at the focus of the parabola, a line that runs along the length of ...
