Double Pass Solar Air Thermal Collector
Title: Performance Analysis of a Double Pass Solar Air Thermal Collector with Porous Media Using Lava Rock
The solar panel in the figure above is a Rigid Model M120W type which can produce a maximum power of 120W and a panel efficiency of 22.6%. The panel consists of 36 pieces of integrated back contact cell type solar cells with dimensions of 125 mm × 125 mm each. The panel has dimensions of 1.2 m (l) × 0.54 m (w) × 0.035 m (t).
