Comparison of semi- spherical solar collector with flat plate solar collector

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2019
The efficiency of each solar system depends on the amount of radiation that it receives. The evident characteristic of solar energy is its change throughout the day and during different seasons. Another feature of this energy is the change of position of the sun in the sky relative to Earth.
