Study on the Optimum Angle for Solar Collector

Abstract:

To increase the efficiency of solar energy, a method for setting the collector was established, which can enhance the solar thermal power in winter. The optimum angles of the quasi-fixed solar collector and fixed solar collector were calculated. For Daqing area, their values were given, the angle is 4945.51for quasi-fixed solar collector and it is 5355.97 for fixed solar collector. Comparing the quasi-fixed solar collector with fixed solar collector in Daqing area, the better choice is the quasi-fixed solar collector.
