Abstract: In this paper, we propose a conceptual design to reduce the solar power plant area by using dish reflector and solar panel arrangement by placing the solar panel at 90° angle. The solar rays get redirected into the box with the help of parabolic dish reflectors which results reduced size requirement for the panel installation. The reflective surface increases both light intensity as well as power generation by the solar panel. Also, the usual factors associated with general installation method like dust or snow formation and bird dropping over the panels that affect the efficiency of solar panels are avoided in this light box concept.
