Flat plate collectors are the most common type. They are also referred to as non concentrating collectors and have the same area for intercepting and for absorbing solar radiation. A typical flat plate collector is an insulated metal box with a glass or plastic cover (called the glazing) and a dark-coloured absorber plate.
Residential panels for heat collection are referred to as flat plate solar collectors. Solar collectors are special kind of heat exchangers that transform solar radiation energy into internal energy of the transport medium.
In a flat solar collector, the absorber plate is exposed to the sun and is heated by absorbing solar radiation. The heat transfer fluid, which circulates through tubes on the back of the plate, absorbs the heat from the plate. The hot fluid is transported to the storage system so that it can be used when required to heat water or air.
A solar thermal collector is a device designed to capture sunlight and convert it into heat energy. It typically consists of a flat plate or tubes containing a heat-absorbing material, such as metal or glass, which heats up when exposed to sunlight. 2. How does a solar thermal collector work?
In an area that produces an average level of solar energy, the amount of energy a flat plate solar collector generates equates to around one square foot panel generating one gallon of one day's hot water. The flat plate panel design utilises many different absorber configurations with the main design being the harp configuration.
Flat plate solar thermal systems are another common type of solar collector which have been in use since the 1950s.
