Flat-plate and evacuated-tube solar collectors are mainly used to collect heat for space heating, domestic hot water, or cooling with an absorption chiller. In contrast to solar hot water panels, they use a circulating fluid to displace heat to a separated reservoir. The first solar thermal collector designed for building roofs was patented by William H. Goettl and called the "Solar heat collector and radiator for building roof

How Does A Flat Plate Collector Work?Components of Flat Plate CollectorSizing of A Flat Plate CollectorFlat Plate Collectors Without CoverAdvantages of A Flat Plate CollectorConclusionFAQsThe working of a flat plate collector (FPC) involves the transfer of heat or thermal energy. The operating medium exchanges heat from the sun''s rays. The heat-absorbing plate of the collector is exposed to sunlight. As the sun rays hit the flat plate surface, a portion of their energy is transformed into heat. This leads to a rise in the temperatur...See more on solarsquare Sponsored
