Abstract

A flat-plate collector (FPC) is a device to collect solar energy and transform it into thermal energy (low-grade energy) by using water as a working fluid. It is a heart of solar thermal devices that has many applications in a medium temperature range ≅100 °C from domestic to preheating to industrial sectors. The hot water available from flat-plate collectors (FPC’s) can be also used to conserve fossil fuel.
