The panel has a thin sheet metal absorber backed by riser tubes and insulating material to reduce heat loss to the rear. The collector has a purpose designed and built panel for quality and reliability. A sturdy mobile frame supports the collector. To allow users to adjust its angle, the frame has a hinge. A box with a clear cover encloses the panel, forming the collector.
It allows students to measure and find the efficiency and heat losses of a flat plate solar energy collector. This equipment shows how a flat plate solar energy collector works.
