Solar energy is the most important ancient source of energy and is the base of all renewable & nonrenewable sources. This book concerns with one of the ideas which helps us to make use of solar energy to generate electricity by using a parabolic high temperature solar collector to generate steam with respect to simple Rankine cycle. Project consists of: 1- A steam generator (parabolic high temperature solar collector) with a tube of stainless covered by glass tube. 2- A water pump. 3- A steam Turbine. 4- A tracking system foe the parabolic trough. It is worth mentioning that we could not dump the air between the tube stainless steel cover Albaerks, causing significant loss of heat transmitted to the water, which led to lack of access to the target desired from the device to obtain the vapor at a temperature greater than 100 ° C and I said temperature of exit and reached 78 ° C in unchanged clear sky without clouds and winds of speeds approaching 3 meters per second.
