Solar collectors are energy harvesting devices that convert solar radiation into heat energy and transport the generated heat via a working fluid (heat transfer fluid) in a riser pipe to a storage tank [21], [22].The solar energy transported by the working fluid can also be utilised directly for space heating, equipment conditioning and other thermomechanical applications [23].
