    Solar collectors are devices used to collect solar radiation and transfer the collected energy to a fluid to be used for heating purposes. There are different types of solar collectors classified based on their design as flat plate collectors, modified flat plate collectors, compound parabolic concentrators, cylindrical parabolic concentrators, linear fresnel lens collectors, fixed mirror solar concentrators, paraboloidal dish collectors, hemispherical bowl mirror concentrators, and central tower receiver collectors. Flat plate collectors are the simplest design while focusing collectors concentrate solar radiation to higher intensities for heating the fluid.

    Introduction

     Solar collectors are used for collecting solar radiation and then transferring the
    collected energy to a fluid passing through it.

     A transport fluid, generally water, is used to collect this transferred heat from
    collector and delivers it to a thermal storage tank, boiler or heat exchanger

     Solar energy reaching earth’s surface has an intensity about 5-8 Kwh/m 2. So, for any
    useful application sufficient solar energy should be collected from a large ground area
    with help of many solar collectors.
