How to build a Tracking Parabolic Solar Collector - ORDER PAGE

DETAILED PLANS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

Plan book (90 pages in color with 205 photos and illustrations) shows you how I made the Tracking Parabolic Solar Collector in detail, complete method and sources of materials together with two full size patterns for the rib, hanger and motor drive base. The CD contains the electronic version which includes:

  • a hyper linked PDF file of the plan book that opens all the internet links to supplier and reference web pages as well as shows full size versions of the photos and illustrations in your browser
  • the two full size patterns as PDF files
  • all the photos and illustrations as full size JPEG files.

    Available as hard copy (all of the items pictured above) which is mailed to you or as an instant download containing all the contents of the CD.

    Page previews (click to enlarge):

    You will get the electronic version of the plan book with both the hard copy and the download. Each and every illustration and photo in the book is hyper linked to a full size version that opens in your browser. So, for example, if you were looking at the little diagram of the axle nut above and you clicked on it, you would see this in your browser. If you wanted to see a closup of the picture showing how to check alignment you would click on it and see this in your browser. All 205 pictures and illustrations are linked this way for you.

    With the hard copy version, you will have the best of both worlds. You can take the printed book and the patterns into your workshop and you can study the plans in detail and do your research at your computer.

    If you buy the download version, you can print the entire book, or just the pages you need.
