In conventional concentrating Solar Power System the sunlight is focus on the some target point using solar tracking sensors which is costly and the system consumes more area. The motive of project is to reduce the area by making system closed using array of lenses arranged in parabolic shape and the sunlight coming from sun concentrated on a single point in a minimum area so that the need of tracking system is neglected. The concentrated beam of sunlight is made by using Fresnel lens or convex lens and the beam generated by these lenses is focused on a water filled container made of glass or metal which is enclosed by some other shell made of metal so the heat is not escape out from shell. The water in the container is heated and the steam is generated and the steam that is generated is used for many purposes.i.e. Domestic or industrial, the concentrator system is consists of a number of lenses that are arranged in parabolic form at different angles. This opens a new design space for high efficiency concentrating solar power system with the potential for cost reduction i
