Solar thermal collectors convert sunlight into thermal energy and are primarily utilized for water and space heating applications. Flat plate and evacuated tube collectors are the most widely used collector types that absorb solar radiation and transfer the heat to a fluid circulating inside them. Over the past few years, more efficient concentrated solar thermal collectors have also emerged...
