solar collectors | PPT
12. The first accurate model of flat plate solar collectors was developed by Hottel and Whillier in the 1950''s. Flat-plate collectors are designed for applications requiring moderate temperatures usually up to 110°C. It uses both beam and diffuse radiation. Flat-plate collectors are the most widely used kind of collectors in the world for domestic water-heating systems
