Abstracts: The growing need for energy and the depletion of the conventional fuel has forced the man kind to think in direction of non-conventional energy source. one of the largest source of non-conventional energy is sun. A large amount of solar energy is available in thermal form. the collection and concentration of solar thermal energy on the object is done with the help of parabolic trough collector(PTC)for the temperature range 400-600. solar flat plate collector are available for temperature range lesser than 100. the leading process industries using heat at a mean temperature level (100-150)areterilization, pasteurizing, drying, hydrolyzing, distillation, evaporation, washing cleaning, polymerization etc.
