Flat Plate Collector
The flat plate collector collects heat by mirror and is focused onto absorber pipe carrying water.​
Application
Used for heating the space or water for commercial and industrial purposes.
Evacuated Tubular
collector
Borosilicate glass is used for concentrating solar energy on the absorbing pipe. The focused heat of sunlight is transmitted to water.
Application
Higher water temperature is obtained compared to flat pate collector for household work and industrial purposes.
Box Type Solar Cooker
The box is made up of insulated metal closed by a toughened glass. A plane mirror is used as the reflector to position the sun’s rays into the aluminum container kept inside the box.
Application
It is an effective way for cooking the food where solar energy is in abundance.
Solar Dryer
The solar energy falls on solar collector and then warm/hot air is directed towards solar dryer chamber. Thus solar drying is carried out without the impact of rain, dust, insects, birds etc.
Application
They are used for domestic and industrial purposes in textile, wood, food, paper, pharmaceutical and agro – based industries.
Solar Still
The solar energy falling on the glass directed towards impure water gets heated, evaporated and then condensate on the glass cover.
Application
Solar still is used for purifying the impure, hard or brackish water.
