Dear Omisanya,
  There are a few options:

First, regardless of the specific details of a collector's construction, 
when a collector is tested and its performance parameters are reported 
in a generic form so that it can be compared against similar 
technologies. For example, the form of the performance curve for a flat 
plate type-collector is the same whether there are fin-tubes behind a 
glass cover or whether there are evacuated tubes with a reflector behind 
them. It may be that the parameters required by the linear parabolic 
concentrator component can be obtained for your collector.

If not, then a second option is the "performance map" solar collector 
model in the standard library (Type72). It will require you to create a 
data file that specifies the collector efficiency as a function of wind 
speed, solar radiation, and dT/It (temperature difference between inlet 
and ambient divided by incident solar radiation).

Kind regards,
  David
