Figure 8 – Flat plate collector components

Due to its construction, a flat plate collector is subject to conduction, convection and radiation heat losses. The sum of these heat losses and the design and production qual- ity are summarised in the thermal collector efficiency which is empirically determined through independent third party testing and expressed in Equation 1. The heat loss modes of a flat plate collector are shown in Figure 9.
