Solar energy is an affordable and environmentally friendly source of energy available in
unlimited amounts. Therefore, the development of new environmentally friendly energy …

An evacuated flat-plate photovoltaic/thermal (E-PV/T) collector was proposed. The inner
space of the E-PV/T collector is vacuumed to suppress non-radiative heat losses, thus …

This paper presents a new design of vacuum flat plate solar collector (VFPSC). This inspired
design is based on a combination of two conventional systems; the flat plate solar collector …

In this study, thermal analysis of a vacuum-based bifacial solar thermal collector is
conducted. This solar collector is expected to capture the solar radiation from both front and …

Abstract Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPV/T) systems which generate
electricity and heat simultaneously are promising solutions for Net Zero Energy Buildings …

The mean temperature of flat plate solar thermal collectors (FPSTC) is used to calculate
collector efficiency and other related parameters. This temperature is a key aspect for the …

Among solar thermal collectors, the evacuated flat panel is emerging as a reference
technology for operation at temperatures as high as 200° C with an increased annual …

In this paper, heat transfer in an absorbing plate of a flat plate solar collector has been
investigated upon using dual-reciprocity method. In order to validate the boundary element …

This paper reports the development and application of a new practical photovoltaic (PV)
cells based device to measure the solar radiation flux produced by non-imaging Compound …

Vacuum flat plate (VFP) solar thermal collectors exhibit excellent optical and thermal
characteristics due to a combination of wide surface area and high vacuum thermal …
