Development of an indoor testing rig for façade integrated solar thermal collectors

Development of an indoor testing rig for façade integrated solar thermal collectors

New solar thermal collectors with triangular and trapezoidal shapes and different colours (red, blue, green etc.) were developed in the Renewable Energy Systems and Recycling Research Centre, R&D Institute of the Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania to increase their architectural acceptan...
