In this paper a computerized analysis of the fluid dynamics was conducted for a solar power plant stacked at collector height (H2 = 1.85 m, 3 m, 4 m and 5 m) with different solar irradiations such as 600 W / m2, 800 W / m2 m2, 900 W / m2 and 1000 W / m2. The slope of the roof and the radius of curvature of the manifold vary according to the height of the outlet manifold. The intake manifold height is set to H1 = 1.85 m from a solar cell power plant. The main objective of this work is to study the improvement of efficiency by modifying the design of the solar chimney system by diverging and radial curvature on the roof of the SCPP sensor. From the results, it was observed that the inclination and radius of curvature of the sensor roof had an effect on the efficiency of the sensor and that the efficiency of the sensor was at most 44.92% when the sensor height H2 = 5 m.
