Advancements in Thermal Performance of Solar Flat Plate Collectors: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Over the past couple of years, solar flat plate collectors (FPSCs) have undergone significant improvement regarding their thermal performance. The review evaluates the improvement of materials such as advanced coatings; metals with a high thermal conductivity; and nanostructured additives. New cover technologies, such as polymeric films and anti-reflection coatings, are discussed, as well as novel insulation technologies such as aerogels and vacuum panels. Also of interest are phase-change materials and …
