In this paper we present a working model of Compound Parabolic Collector (CPC) system for the application of process steam generation. It is easy for fabrication, operation and has a lower cost compared to other available concentrating solar collector systems with further possibility of lowering the cost. An experimental demonstration unit having an aperture area of nearly 30m 2 was set up and tested for steam generation. The performance analysis of the system shows potential of improving thermal efficiency up to 71%. By virtue of its geometry, the proposed CPC system requires much lesser mirror area compared to conventional CPC design and require single tilt adjustment per day for a daily 6h operation.
