A Scheffler collector is a fixed focus solar radiation concentrator. It has capacity to increase the temperature of the receiver up to 200°C. It is being widely used in the various applications such cooking food, generation of power in the solar thermal power plant and etc. This communication presents a complete review of the Scheffler collector. The first part reviews a complete designing of a Scheffler collector with respect to the equinox by selecting a specific lateral part of a paraboloid. The next part compares the energy and exergy analysis of the Scheffler collector followed by the various applications of Scheffler collector and its recent developments.
