Solar radiation (basic concepts, angles, direct and diffuse component, spectral distribution, atmospheric attenuation, tilted and moving planes, correlations, measurement of solar radiation, Athens values). Theory of flat plate solar collector (thermal analysis, temperature distribution in the absorber, efficiency factor, thermal gain, flow, efficiency, performance measurement, types of flat collectors). Concentrating collectors. Solar domestic hot water and space heating systems (calculation methods, f-charts). Methods for calculating thermal solar systems (utilization factor, Φ-f charts). Energy storage. Other applications (cooling, power generation, solar ponds, passive systems). Economic issues.
