- Main design
- Radial parabolic: Preferred option, the parabola offers a greater caloric power
- Annular parabolic: More material is spent on this variant
- Panel design: Popular initiative, but works with weak materials and is less efficient
- Reflective coating
- As indicated on the project page, the use of a chrome paint is preferred to achieve the reflective surface

It's indicated that the segments are joined with rivets, I suggest including washers to these, to prevent that due to the thinness of the sheet it tears due to the effect of stresses applied during the use of the equipment
- Thank you for your observation, the disc is not expected to be subjected to such forces as to tear it, but the comment is good, I will take it into account for a future version

The structure is made of iron, wouldn't it be better to make it in another material such as aluminum?, which better supports oxidation
- As long as the equipment is not submerged in water, it is given a good anti-rust paint and it is stored in a suitable place, oxidation will not be a problem
