Solar collector

This research investigates an innovative approach to augmenting the current evaporation pond disposal approach used in Australia, and other regions around the world. The augmentation involves the incorporation of solar plate collector technology. The technology is widely used across the world to collect solar power to drive a range of commercial and domestic applications, most commonly solar hot water systems.
