  2. Parabolic trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trough

    A parabolic trough is shaped as a parabola in the x-y plane, but is linear in the z direction. A parabolic trough is made of a number of solar collector modules (SCM) fixed together to move as one solar collector assembly (SCA). A SCM could have a length up to 15 metres (49 ft 3 in) or more.

  3. Parabolic reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector

    A parabolic (or paraboloid or paraboloidal) reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. Its shape is part of a circular paraboloid , that is, the surface generated by a parabola revolving around its axis.

  4. Lighter - Wikipedia

    The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix.It was completed in 2013. When commissioned, it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world, and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage. [3]

  8. Solar mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_mirror

    A solar mirror contains a substrate with a reflective layer for reflecting the solar energy, and in most cases an interference layer. This may be a planar mirror or parabolic arrays of solar mirrors used to achieve a substantially concentrated reflection factor for solar energy systems.
