Abstract
This project introduces the successful development of a MATLAB graphical interface for the design and analysis of reflectors and solar concentrators on parabolic surfaces. The integration of spline techniques for precise modeling of these surfaces has been implemented, along with the capability to generate STL files for 3D printing. The interface not only enables detailed and adaptable design of reflectors but also includes an advanced simulator for projecting incident rays and analyzing their reflection on the parabolic surface, focusing specifically on the focal point location. This has led to a significant increase in the efficiency of solar concentrators and lighting systems by enabling the precise placement of absorbers to maximize energy transfer. The obtained results confirm the initial hypothesis, demonstrating that the interface enhances the precision and efficiency in the design of these systems, thereby offering a valuable tool in both educational and professional realms in the fields of solar energy and lighting.
