1 Abstract: Thermal applications and power generation from solar radiation are emerging vary rapidly as the world continues to thrive for energy sources of future, other than the conventional sources.
Flat-plate collectors are mainly employed for private home heating, hot water production, public office heating and many other applications. The wide acceptability of this system result from its
two broad categories: concentrator, and flat-plate systems, the latter being deployed more widely, globally (Green, 1993; Kelly, 1993). Essentially, flat-plate systems are built around monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar cells65 commonly referred to as modules that transform incident solar radiation into an electrical output. When

The schematic of a flat plate solar collector with liquid transport medium is given here. The black absorber plate absorbs radiant heat from sunlight. due to convection and radiation to the atmosphere. There are tubes carrying water, which gets heated due to the heat absorbed. The thermal insulation prevents heat loss during heat transfer.
For projects up to 6 tons, flat plate collectors are more budget-friendly. They give more energy for the money spent. But for bigger energy needs, concentrating collectors are more efficient. They give a better return on investment in large systems. The success of solar collectors depends on how much useful energy they can get.
