| Content Summary | Low cost CPC solar collectors were designed, constructed and tested. The collectors consist of two separate absorbers, which are horizontally incorporated in a stationary asymmetric CPC mirror. The efficient operation of the proposed collectors is due to the direct absorption of a large part of the incoming solar radiation and to the thermal losses suppression by the inverted surface of both absorbers. Two collector types with the same basic design are presented. The first type has tubular absorbers which are used for direct water heating and the second has flat fin type absorbers with pipe. Test results showed that the proposed collectors operate efficiently and are suitable for hot water applications. | en |
