Solar collectors and absorbers convert solar radiation into thermal energy, playing a crucial role in meeting global heating demands across various sectors.

Parabolic trough solar collectors (PTCs) remain at the forefront of concentrated solar power technologies, converting solar irradiance into high-grade thermal energy through a curved reflective ...

A group of researchers led by the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom has conceived new design parameters for photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) air collectors by taking into account the effect of ...

Parabolic trough technology has a success story spanning more than 40 years. As early as 1984, the first commercial power plants with parabolic trough collectors went into operation in California. In ...
