Abstract

Water heating using solar energy at a domestic level is a very common practice adopted nowadays. As it makes use of solar energy, as the primary source of heating, it is engrossing most of the researchers’ interest. As a result of which a newer technology has evolved and is being widely studied as it may help to curb the economic problem of high price solar panels. This paper deals with the performance evaluation of concrete slab solar collector, experimentally. The performance parameter taken for the study is tilt angle. The various results have been recorded and performance is evaluated on the basis of maximum temperature attained for optimum tilt angle. The experimental work had been performed at MED, M.M.M.U.T. Gorakhpur.
