Effects of Aspect Ratios on Average Daily Solar Energy Collection for Different Flat-Plate Collector Arrays in Winter Months

Abstract:

A solar radiation model to determine solar energy collection on solar collector array with different aspect ratios has been developed. The relations between the aspect ratio and the average daily solar radiation collection on the collector array have been deeply studied. The results show that there is an optimum aspect ratio to maximize the solar energy collection on the collector arrays. The optimum aspect ratios of the 1000 m² collector array for Haikou, Kunming, Lhasa and Beijing are 10/1, 1/3, 5/1 and 10/1.The optimum aspect ratios of 1000 m², 500 m², 200 m² and 100 m² collector arrays for Kunming are 1/3, 3/1, 7/1 and 1/5, respectively.
