What is Linear Fresnel Collector?

A Linear Fresnel Collector is a type of solar thermal collector that uses flat or slightly curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto a linear receiver positioned above the mirrors. The receiver absorbs the concentrated sunlight to heat a working fluid, which can be used for power generation or industrial processes. This design is cost-effective and simpler than parabolic troughs, making it suitable for large-scale solar energy applications.
