The following points highlight the two types of collectors of solar energy. The types are: 1. Flat Plate Collectors 2. Focusing or Concentrating Collectors. Since solar energy is widely spread, there is a need to make it available in concentrated form for which solar collectors are required. A solar collector absorbs the incident solar radiation and converts it into useful [...]
