Saad Najeeb

Thank you.

Olusola Bamisile

If its experimentally, then you will need a device to measure incident solar irradiance for as long as the flat plate collectors are working. Then the output of the flat plate collector can be rated based on the input to get the efficiency. If its a lab experiment, then its easier since you design the incident solar irradiance yourself.

Thanks.
