Solar power

• Among all the renewable energies, solar is the most preferable which can be used from small scale to large scale industries.

• With the solar panels, the sun power is easily tracked and they are utilized even for charging the cell phone, dryer, fans, water heater, etc…

• Solar water heater is the popular product which is employed in houses since many years

Collectors In Solar Energy

• The solar thermal heaters are used to trap the sun power falling on the panels.

• It was the electromagnetic radiation utilized for the further process.

• The collectors used in the solar is of many types and they are installed based on the requirement and applications.

• The list of types are shown in the below lists.

Flat plate collectors

• The collectors resemble flat plate with dark color and they are very well insulated.

• Heat transfer fluid is made to go around the copper and silicon tube.

• The plates used as the absorber is coated with aluminum and copper along with the coatings to retain the heat.

• This flat plate is adoptable to different types of absorbers.

• This plate has more life span and are inexpensive compared to evacuated type.

Evacuated Tube collectors

• This is made up of the insulated glass tubes and the centre is filled with the copper pipes.

• The water is allowed flow through the pipes which is then heated by the sun power collected by the collectors.

• This is the efficient type among all the types of collectors used.

• This is also most expensive as the durability deserves the cost.

Solar Air Collectors

• This is the economical type of solar collectors, which has the absorber to capture the sun’s radiation and pass it to the air.

• This is available in both glazed and unglazed type.

• This type of collectors are used for ventilation, space heating, process heating and cooling applications.

• They are implemented for industrial and commercial applications.

Solar Bowl Collectors

• This is the parabolic dish with the fixed mirror, with the tracking receiver.

• This shape with the fixed mirrors tracks the sun power to the large extent.

• This type of collectors are used for the large scale purpose and the this is very expensive.

• This type replaced the number of mirrors used to capture the sun power.

• These are list of few collectors used in the solar energy.

• Solar power cannot be trapped without the collectors, thus this has the core role.

• Such solar collectors are chosen and they are utilized based on the application and requirement.

• Glazerindia (http://glazerindia.com) is one of the solar water heater producers In India.

• They provide number of solar water heaters of all types like domestic solar water heater, industrial solar water heater, commercial solar water heater.
