Where temperatures below about 95 °C (200 °F) are sufficient, as for space heating, flat-plate collectors of the nonconcentrating type are generally used. Because of the relatively high heat losses through the glazing, flat plate collectors will not reach temperatures much above 200 °C (400 °F) even when the heat transfer fluid is stagnant. Such temperatures are too low for efficient conversion

Customer ServiceSolar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
Solar thermal energy is usually stored in the form of heated water, also termed as sensible heat. The efficiency of solar thermal energy mainly depends upon the efficiency of storage technology due to the: (1) unpredictable characteristics and (2) time dependent properties, of the exposure of solar radiations.
