Geometric optimization of parabolic trough solar collector based on the local concentration ratio using the Monte Carlo method

•The main components of parabolic trough collector were studied for different sizes.•Geometric optimization is carried out with the Monte Carlo method.•Increasing rim angle and reducing width aperture increase the optical efficiency.•Increasing rim angle and reducing receiver diameter increase the c...
