What are Solar Collectors? In concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants, collectors reflect and concentrate sunlight and redirect it to a receiver, where it is converted to heat and then used to generate electricity. In tower (or central receiver) plants, mirrors, known as heliostats, track the sun on two axes, with each heliostat

As studied by different authors [2-5], general rules of thumb can be stated for the installation of solar flat plate collectors. For maximum annual energy availability, the slope of the collector should be equal to the angle of latitude for low latitude countries ( < 40°), increasing to latitude plus 10° for higher latitude countries ( >40°).
Solar collectors and thermal energy storage components are the two kernel subsystems in solar thermal applications. Solar collectors need to have good optical performance (absorbing as much heat as possible) [3], whilst the thermal storage subsystems require high thermal storage density (small volume and low construction cost), excellent heat transfer rate
