Solar collector performance

3.1. System design and operation

The solar thermal system considered consisted of a fan connected to a PV panel unit and the solar

collector that warmed up the air flow. Small increments of temperature were expected from the

thermal performance so this fact implied simplicity of the prototype. The solar collector was based
