The parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) technology is one of the most reliable technologies in the field of solar thermal. It is mainly used for power generation (e.g., generating steam, which needs high temperatures) and other technological purposes. The collectors receive direct solar radiation from the
In typical solar thermal collectors, the solar absorber panel is structurally fixed and coated by a layer of solar selective absorbing coating only on the sun-facing side while leaving the other side untreated and untapped [33], [34]. insulation thickness and ambient temperature have a vital influence on the RC performance. Afterwards, Hu
Solar collectors are significantly influenced by weather conditions, leading to a mismatch between thermal energy production and demand. To mitigate this issue, U-tube solar collectors integrated with phase change material (PCM) were investigated to store excess solar energy and regulate the temperature of collectors. G. Hu, X.

The multi-objective optimum design of stationary compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) solar collectors is considered. The clear day solar beam radiation and diffuse radiation at the location of the solar collector are estimated. Three objectives are considered in the optimization problem formulation: maximization of the annual average incident solar energy,
Highlights A natural circulation parabolic trough solar collector system is designed and applied to generate mid-temperature steam. Field experiments are performed to analyze heat transfer characteristics of the system. Experiments results show that the system can generate mid-temperature steam of a pressure up to 0.75 MPa. The thermal efficiency is found to be

In addition, Hu et al. [30] simulated the impact of relatively humidity on the cooling performance of the integrated solar heating and radiative cooling collector. The authors observed a 62% decrease in cooling power when relative humidity is increased from 5% to 95%.
Parabolic trough collector (PTC), which has light structure and low cost, is one of the most mature linear concentrating solar collectors [[1], [2], [3], [4]].However, its high operating temperature intensifies the non-uniformity of temperature distribution on absorber tube of PTC working under non-uniform heat flux, which will lead to the thermal deformation and breakage
Solar air collector is the major component of solar energy utilization system which absorbs the incoming solar radiation, converts it into thermal energy and transfers the energy to the fluid flowing through the collector.

Solar district heating (SDH) systems have been extensively studied to phase out fossil fuels [8], [9]. Compared to conventional solar thermal collectors, photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technology can capture more useful energy in a limited area due to its ability to produce both heat and electricity [10]. In PVT systems, heat from the PV modules is
