Types of collectors used in solar power installation
1.
2. 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

3. 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.

5. 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.

7. 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.

9. 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.

11. 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.
12.
13. • 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.
14. • 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.
