The purpose of a solar thermal collector is to capture solar radiation, convert it into heat, and make the heat available for use as for example in a solar-heating or solar-cooling system. At the heart of the solar thermal collector is the absorber where the conversion from radiation into useful heat happens and which should be in close thermal contact with …
