    Abstract: This research concerns an experimental study of solar transformation energy into thermal energy by using a follower solar parabolic concentrator using a tracking system of the sun. The experiment was carried out on a concentration prototype of 1m diameter and a copper receiver, 10 cm length, located at a focal plan of the parabola intended to collect solar energy concentrated. The whole of the system is the subject of a numerical simulation in computer.
