Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 1
Solar Energy Collection and Applications
 Sun and its power as renewable energy source
 Collection of Solar energy
 Solar Collectors and their working
 Collectors and their temperature ranges
 Applications of solar energy
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 2
 The most basic processes supporting life on earth, such as photosynthesis and
the rain cycle, are driven by solar energy.
 Energy from the sun in the form of solar radiation supports almost all life on
earth via photosynthesis and drives the earth’s climate and weather.
 The sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to helium
 The energy delivered to the earth surface in the form of radiations is termed as
“solar energy”
 It’s diameter is 1.39 X 104 Km. while that of the earth is 1.27 X 104 K.
 The earth distance between the two is 1.5 X 108 km.
 The average surface temperature of sun is 5762 0 K.
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 3
 The sun’s total energy output is 3.8 x 10 20 MW.
 The earth receives only a tiny fraction of the total radiation equal to 1.710 14 kW
 84 min of solar radiation falling on earth is sufficient to the world demand for one year.
 The radiation wavelength that is important to solar energy applications is 0.15 to 3.0 μm.
 The wavelengths in the visible region lie between 0.38 and 0.72 μ m.
 The amount of solar energy per unit time, at the mean distance of the earth from the sun,
received on a unit area of a surface normal to the sun outside the atmosphere is called the solar
constant, Gsc.
 The average value of solar constant is 1353 W/m2.
 The solar heat reaching the earth’s surface is reduced below Gsc as it is scattered, reflected
back out into space, and absorbed by the atmosphere.
 The scattered and non directional radiation reaches the earth’s surface from the entire sky is
called the diffuse radiation.
 The solar heat that comes directly through the atmosphere is termed direct or beam radiation.
Solar Radiations on earth surface
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 4
Advantages: Reliable, Secure, Clean, Decentralized, Round the year,
No DT loss, Comparative Cost, Scalable, Low gestation period,
Employability
The solar heat at any point on earth depends on
1. The ozone layer thickness
2. The distance traveled through the atmosphere
to reach that point
3. The amount of haze in the air
4. The extent of the cloud cover.
The major limitations of the solar energy are
1. It is intermittent in nature (Only day time)
2. Fluctuating in nature (Hours to hours, day to day, seasons to season )
3. Very low intensity (450-650 w/m2)
4. Larger area required
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 5
Solar Energy Collection and types of collectors
The solar energy cannot be use for end use application directly. It required
intermediate device called as solar energy collector
- to effectively collect the radiation
- to convert solar radiation in to heat
- to transfer the stored heat to the medium
- to prevent the losses from the device.
The solar collector is a device used to absorb the incident radiations, convert the
radiation in to heat and transfer the heat to the medium (water or air) for end use
application.
There are basically two types of solar collectors:
1. Non-concentrating or stationary
2. Concentrating.

Concentration ratio is defined as the aperture area divided by the receiver/absorber area of the collector.
Type of solar collectors with temperature range
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 8
Flat Plate Collector
A basic flat plate collector is the simplest and most widely used means to convert the
sun's radiation into useful heat for meeting essential energy requirement
COMPONENTS
• Absorber plate ( black painted metal)
• Passage for medium ( Copper tubes)
• Insulation ( Glass wool)
• Glazing ( Glass cover)
• Casing ( Aluminium)
• Worked on the principle of natural
green house effect.
• Flat plate collectors are classified as
liquid flat plate collector and air flat
plate collector.
• Use to achieve temp. upto 100 0C
• Used for cooking, water heating,
drying, desalination,

Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 10
Evacuated Tube Collector
To overcome the problems of simple flat-plate solar collectors that is reduction of
performance in unfavorable conditions during cold, cloudy, and windy days, evacuated
tube collectors are developed.
• These solar collectors consist of a
heat pipe inside a vacuum-sealed
tube,
• The vacuum envelope reduces
convection and conduction losses,
so the collectors can operate at
higher temperatures than flat-
plate collectors.
Evacuated tube collectors use liquid-vapor phase change materials to transfer
heat at high efficiency. This self-limiting temperature control is a unique feature
of the evacuated heat pipe collector.
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 11
Concentrating Collectors
• Energy delivery temperatures increased if area of heat loss decreases.
• High temperatures can be reached if a large amount of solar radiation is
concentrated on a small collection area.
All of these are imaging concentrators which allow relatively high
concentration temperatures: about 400 oC for parabolic troughs, up to 650 oC
for Stirling dishes, and above 1000 oC for solar power towers.
Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 12
Concentrating collector’s exhibit certain advantages are as follows:
1. The working fluid can achieve higher temperatures in a concentrator system
than a flat-plate system.
2. The thermal efficiency is greater because of the small heat loss area relative to
the receiver area.
3. Reflecting surfaces require less material and are structurally simpler.
4. Owing to the relatively small area of receiver per unit of collected solar
energy.
Their disadvantages are:
1. Concentrator systems collect little diffuse radiation, depending on the
concentration ratio.
2. Some form of tracking system is required to enable the collector to follow the
sun.
3. Solar reflecting surfaces may lose their reflectance and require periodic
cleaning.

Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 4 Advantages: Reliable, Secure, Clean, Decentralized, Round the year, No DT loss, Comparative Cost, Scalable, Low gestation period, Employability The solar heat at any point on earth depends on 1. The ozone layer thickness 2. The distance traveled through the atmosphere to reach that point 3. The amount of haze in the air 4. The extent of the cloud cover. The major limitations of the solar energy are 1. It is intermittent in nature (Only day time) 2. Fluctuating in nature (Hours to hours, day to day, seasons to season ) 3. Very low intensity (450-650 w/m2) 4. Larger area required
  • 5. Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 5 Solar Energy Collection and types of collectors The solar energy cannot be use for end use application directly. It required intermediate device called as solar energy collector - to effectively collect the radiation - to convert solar radiation in to heat - to transfer the stored heat to the medium - to prevent the losses from the device. The solar collector is a device used to absorb the incident radiations, convert the radiation in to heat and transfer the heat to the medium (water or air) for end use application. There are basically two types of solar collectors: 1. Non-concentrating or stationary 2. Concentrating.

Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 10 Evacuated Tube Collector To overcome the problems of simple flat-plate solar collectors that is reduction of performance in unfavorable conditions during cold, cloudy, and windy days, evacuated tube collectors are developed. • These solar collectors consist of a heat pipe inside a vacuum-sealed tube, • The vacuum envelope reduces convection and conduction losses, so the collectors can operate at higher temperatures than flat- plate collectors. Evacuated tube collectors use liquid-vapor phase change materials to transfer heat at high efficiency. This self-limiting temperature control is a unique feature of the evacuated heat pipe collector.
  • 11. Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 11 Concentrating Collectors • Energy delivery temperatures increased if area of heat loss decreases. • High temperatures can be reached if a large amount of solar radiation is concentrated on a small collection area. All of these are imaging concentrators which allow relatively high concentration temperatures: about 400 oC for parabolic troughs, up to 650 oC for Stirling dishes, and above 1000 oC for solar power towers.
  • 12. Dr.A.G.Mohod, DBSKKV, Dapoli : Solar Energy Collection and Application 12 Concentrating collector’s exhibit certain advantages are as follows: 1. The working fluid can achieve higher temperatures in a concentrator system than a flat-plate system. 2. The thermal efficiency is greater because of the small heat loss area relative to the receiver area. 3. Reflecting surfaces require less material and are structurally simpler. 4. Owing to the relatively small area of receiver per unit of collected solar energy. Their disadvantages are: 1. Concentrator systems collect little diffuse radiation, depending on the concentration ratio. 2. Some form of tracking system is required to enable the collector to follow the sun. 3. Solar reflecting surfaces may lose their reflectance and require periodic cleaning.
