INTRODUCTION For evaluation and comparison of solar collectors, many factors need to be considered: collector thermal performance and costs, lifetime of the collectors and decrease of collector performance due to aging. The thermal performance of a solar collector is fairly easy to assess.
Solar energy collectors are crucial for converting solar radiation into usable forms like heat or electricity. There are two main types of collectors: non-concentration and concentrating collectors. In non-concentration collectors, the collector area and absorber area are the same.
The proper determination of the static and dynamic properties of a solar collector is of key significance, as they constitute a basis for the design of a solar heating installation, as well as a control system.
