However, in high-temperature applications such as solar thermal power generation, the application of solar thermal flat plate collector (STFPC) is limited because of its low output temperature. Gaur and Tiwari [ 4 ] developed two different types of solar distillation systems: passive solar still and active solar still.

Solar collectors to reach very high temperatures, particularly during power failures or periods when there is minimal energy demand. Under these conditions, solar collectors may reach "stagnation" temperatures exceeding 170°C. If exposed to these high temperatures, the heat transfer fluid may rapidly degrade or even boil. In addition
Concentrating solar collectors have high tendency to achieve optimal thermal efficiency, due to its ability to track the direction of sunlight [2]. The heat energy obtained from this type of collectors showed good prospect in reducing the world over dependent on fossil fuels and helps address environmental concerns. Several types of concentrating solar collectors exist,
However, they are used extensively in evacuated collectors, which utilise a partial vacuum, such as the receivers in high temperature solar thermal systems. Oxide coatings were the first type of coating used in solar
The aim of this study is to investigate lifetime and efficiency of flat plate solar collectors used for solar heating plants. The 12.5 m² HT (high temperature) solar collector, marketed by Arcon
Though the efficiency of the collectors is high if the flow is maximized (thereby minimizing the operating temperature thus lowering the collector heat loss), it is often not optimal for the overall plant efficiency since high flow requires more pump power and/or larger pipe diameter.
When it comes to heating large water bodies such as swimming pools, flat-plate low temperature solar collectors are used. The medium-temperature collectors with flat-plates are the ones that are used for heating purposes in residential and commercial buildings. When it comes to electricity generation, it''s high-temperature collectors that are
Line-focusing collector systems have the largest market penetration of all high-temperature collector systems, such that more than (80%) of the world''s operating CSP power plants are based on line-focusing collector technologies, of which more than (90%) are parabolic trough power plant types according to SolarPaces-Solar Power &Chemical Energy Systems ().

This type of solar collector utilizes long parabolic-shaped reflectors to collect the sun''s radiation and concentrate the sunlight on a receiver pipe that runs down into a long trough. Line-focus solar collectors are very high-powered and can focus the sun from 30 to 100 times its average intensity. This is why these solar collectors are used

Types of solar thermal energy collectors including concentrating and nonconcentrating solar energy collectors, and what they are used for.
There is a variety of collector technologies that can be used in DH systems with supply temperatures of 80 to 120 °C. Flat plate collectors are inexpensive and easy to install and are well suited to lower supply temperature (up to 80 °C) applications.

Table 9.1 presents the concentration ratio and temperature range of various solar collectors. Table 9.1 Solar energy collection devices . Full size table. 9.3 Solar Flat Plate Collectors. A solar flat plate collector is a simple design of heat exchanger where the exchange of thermal energy occurs between a distance source, that is, the sun, and a heat transfer fluid
High-temperature collectors are parabolic dish and trough collectors used primarily by utilities and nonutility power producers in the generation of electricity for the grid. High-temperature solar thermal collectors, which operate at temperatures higher than 180°F, are used primarily for R&D projects.
From 2002 to 2007 the thermal performance of solar collector has been increased by 29%, 39%, 55% and 80% for a mean solar collector fluid temperature of 40 ̊C, 60°C, 80°C and 100°C respectively. The increase of thermal performance is more significant for an increased solar collector fluid temperature.
The collector is tested with four mean solar collector fluid temperature levels: 22 ̊C, 40-49 ̊C, 68 ̊C and 87-89 ̊C. During the measurement, the average ambient air temperature is 14.7 ̊C. The average wind speed at the same height of the collector panel is 1.2 m/s.
High collector temperatures may also be a problem, as equilibrium temperatures of well designed collectors can be well above the boiling point of water under conditions of no fluid circulation, high radiation and high ambient temperature.
A study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) indicates that solar thermal collector systems can cover between 50% and 80% of the hot water needs in a typical home depending on the geographic location and the efficiency of the system.
A schematic representation of the test configuration for evaluating solar collectors’ performance is shown in Fig. 18. The efficiency of a solar collector can be experimentally obtained by using a pyranometer for measuring the solar irradiation, and thermometers for the measurement of the fluid inlet and outlet temperature, and the air temperature.
