AbstractThis thesis is working on the problem of solar energy collecting. In Thailand, many areas have high performance of solar energy especially in north - east area of Thailand . However, we have a few ways for collecting solar energy. We use a solar cell for directly converting light energy in solar energy to electrical energy but in solar energy also have thermal radiation that cannot collect energy by the solar cell. To collect two ways of energy form is collecting solar energy in heat energy form by using a solar c oncentrator. In a solar concentrator, it is using a concave mirror technique to focus solar ray at a single point for generated heat source. By using this technique, we can get both thermal energy form and light energy form as thermal energy because light energy form will covert to thermal energy follow latent heat energy theory.
