This paper deals with a detailed literature survey related to solar heating furnace. It also incorporates its
applications and temperature and stress analysis of furnaces. A solar heating furnace is a structure that uses
concentrated solar power to produce high temperature, usually for industry where the high temperature required for the
processes. Parabolic surface which is covered by the aluminium foil or mirror,which is Fresnel lens, concentrates light
onto a focal point. The temperature at the focal point may reach maximum 2000°C, and this heat can be used to boiling
water, melt steel, nanomaterial, generating electricity or hydrogen fuel.
