In this paper the attempts made by the authors to explore the feasibility of utilising concentrated solar beam radiation for joining engineering thermoplastics such as Acrylonitrilc/Butadiene/Styrene (ABS), Polycarbonate(PC) and Polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) are presented. In addition, to study the joining of the materials, necessary experimentation with applying primer was performed. Tensile tests were conducted to determine the bond strength achieved at the specimen joint interface. Microscopic examinations of the fractured joints were performed in order to analyse the overall bond quality. Finally, the results in terms of bond strength achieved at the joint interface and energy consumed in the process were compared with those obtained with similar thermoplastic joining technique utilising microwave energy. In conclusion some advantages and limitations were outlined and necessary improvements of the jointing technique were recommended.
