However, flat-plate collectors have some limitations when compared with other types of solar energy collectors such as evacuated-tube collectors or concentrating solar power systems (CSP). For instance, they''re less efficient at capturing sunlight than other types due to their design which limits how much light can be captured from different angles throughout the day.

In practice different kinds of solar collectors for hot domestic water heating worldwide are used. The amount of sunshine hours in Latvia is some 1800 hours a year in average what preclude it to use solar energy for water heating.
Flat plate collectors are the simplest and probably cheapest way to harvest solar energy and produce thermal heat. As illustrated in Fig. 12 a flat plate collector mainly consists of a transparent cover that allows solar irradiation in, a dark, selective absorber plate that converts the incoming radiation to heat and transfers it to the tubing system attached to it, and a heat-insulating
