MIDAS Flat Plate Collector is designed in flat shape and with a composition of a large box different layers of the plate surface. At the top, there are one or a plurality of layers of glass sunlight falls on. Then, the light is absorbed by the absorber plate, is usually a metal plate such as copper or aluminum, which is maintained below the top cover. Around the absorber plate of the pipe water absorbs the heat from the absorber plate. The entire flat-plate collector box insulation and weather shield. There are three principal parts of flat plate solar collector: absorber plate which absorbs solar radiation and transfers it to the working fluid, transparent cover which allows short wave radiation to pass and prevents them from exiting, and insulation which resists back and rear side heat losses. Flat-plate collector solar water heater is the most commonly used. The main use of this technology is in residential buildings where the demand for hot water has a large impact on energy bills. This generally means a situation with a large family, or a situation in which the hot water demand is excessive due to frequent laundry washing. Commercial applications include laundromats, car washes, military laundry facilities and eating establishments. The Flat Plate Collector can also be used for space heating if the building is located off-grid or if utility power is subject to frequent outages. Flat Plate Collector systems are most likely to be cost effective for facilities with water heating systems that are expensive to operate, or with operations such as laundries or kitchens that require large quantities of hot water.
