A Review: Solar Power Collector
Abstract
Thermal applications and power generation from solar radiation are emerging rapidly as the world continues to look for future energy sources in addition to conventional sources. Solar thermal collectors are one of the basic requirements for converting the sun's energy into usable forms. These collectors are divided into two groups, non-concentrated solar thermal collectors and concentrated solar thermal collectors. The objective of this report is to review 'Solar Flat Plate Thermal Collector' which comes under non-concentrated thermal collectors. It achieves this goal by indicating areas where improvements can be made through a brief history of solar thermal collectors, brief descriptions of different collector types, description of construction and thermal performance
