Overview

A solar collector refers to a type of device that gathers and concentrates solar radiation from the sun. This device is used primarily for solar heating, which enables the heating of water for personal use. These devices are generally a flat box made up of three primary components, including a coolant carrying tube, a transparent cover, and an insulated rear plate. The coating and material type of the solar collector affects the absorption of solar energy. Solar collectors come in a variety of shapes and sizes including evacuated tube collectors, point focus collectors, flat plate collectors, and line focus collectors. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the study of solar collectors. Most of the topics covered herein provide information on the theory and applications of solar collectors. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
