UNIT-II

SOLAR ENERGY
COLLECTION STORAGE AND
APPLICATIONS

By
Dr V Ranjith Babu
Syllabus
• Flat plate and concentrating collectors, Classification of
concentrating collectors, orientation and thermal analysis,
advanced collectors.
• Different methods, Sensible, Latent heat and stratified storage,
solar ponds. Solar Applications- solar heating/cooling
technique, solar distillation and drying, photovoltaic energy
conversion.
The performance of the solar thermal
collector depends on the following criteria:
• Area of the solar collector
• Total amount of solar radiation incident on the
collector
• Positioning of the collector’s tilt and the collector’s
orientation.
• solar collector efficiency is influenced by several
factors like heat gain, surface area, the conversion
factor and heat loss through conduction and
convection.
Solar Heating And Cooling Techniques

Solar heating and cooling technology receive the thermal


energy from sun and utilize this energy to provide
hot water,
space heating and cooling
pool heating for residential,
 commercial and
industrial applications

The main function of solar system is to convert sun light


into heat.
In these types of dryers, food or clothing is exposed to
the sunlight directly. The sunlight removes the
moisture from the substance.
In these types of dryers, black surface is exposed to
sunlight. The black surface heats the incoming air.
