Solar energy is the most abundant and its usage is the more widespread. Solar collectors are heat exchanger devices that capture the incident solar irradiation and transform a part of this to useful heat. This heat is given to a working fluid in order to be transferred to the load or to the storage device.
The two major types of collectors, i.e. flat-plate and concentrating are examined separately. The basic parameter to consider is the collector thermal efficiency. This is defined as the ratio of the useful energy delivered to the energy incident on the collector aperture. The incident solar flux consists of direct and diffuse radiation.
Owing to the relatively small area of receiver per unit of collected solar energy, selective surface treatment and vacuum insulation to reduce heat losses and improve the collector efficiency are economically viable. 1. Concentrator systems collect little diffuse radiation depending on the concentration ratio. 2.
An energy efficient solar collector should absorb incident solar radiation, convert it to thermal energy and deliver the thermal energy to a heat transfer medium with minimum losses at each step. It is possible to use several different design principles and physical mechanisms in order to create a selective solar absorbing surface.
