Abstract

In the present paper, the thermal performance of flat-plate solar collectors manufactured indigenously in India is reported; the thermal performance of the collectors is evaluated on the basis of test results obtained at the Solar Energy Centre. It is seen from the results that the values of F R U L for the tested collectors ranges from 5.139 to 7.024. It is observed that these values may, however, be improved by using advanced manufacturing techniques, better materials and good bonding methods.
