A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing sunlight. The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may also refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers, or to non-water-heating devices such as solar cookers or solar air heaters. Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating. In non-concen
