Concentrating solar thermal power is an emerging renewable technology with accessible storage options to generate electricity when required. Central receiver systems or solar towers have the highest commercial potential in large-scale power plants because of reaching the highest temperature. With the increasing solar chemistry applications and new solar thermal power plants, various receiver designs require in micro or macro-scale, in materials, and temperature limits. The purpose of the article is computing the geometry of the receiver in various conditions and provide information during the conceptual design. This paper proposes a surrogate-based design optimization for a micro-scale volumetric receiver model in the literature. The study includes creating training data using the Latin Hypercube method, training five different surrogate models, surrogate model validation, selection procedure, and surrogate-based design optimization. Selected surrogates have over 98% R\textsuperscript{2} fit and less than 4% root mean square error. In final step, optimization performance compared with the base model. Because of the model complexity, surrogate models reached better objective values in a significantly shorter time.
