There are several types of Solar Collectors: Flat Plate Solar Collectors, Evacuated Tubes Solar Collectors, Concentrators, CPC solar collectors, Photo Voltaic and so. This web page is referring to Flat Solar Collectors for domestic, industrial and commercial utilization and requires Temperatures below 120 ºC

General Performance Information
SOLAR COLLECTORS DESCRIPTION
Solar Collector Formulae
Effectiveness = a - b*X - c*X^2*G
Effectiveness= no dimensional parameter
X = ((Ti+To) / 2 - Ta) / G
Ti = Liquid Inlet Temperature to the Solar Collector
ºC
To = Liquid outlet Temperature from the Solar Collector
ºC
Ta = Average ambient Temperature in Sunligth Hours
ºC
G = Instantaneus Solar Irradiation Parameter
Wh-Sq.m
Standard Pressura Droop
Pd= a*V + b*V^2
Millibars
V = In solar Collector Flow, Volume = Li/h
