Analysis and performance of an extended-surface, tubeless, flat-plate solar collector

A novel, extended-surface, flat-plate solar collector has been investigated and tested. Comparative test results with an identical tubeless, flat-plate solar collector (without surface extension) indicate that the surface extension by indentation improves the collector efficiency almost in the same proportion as the absorber area is increased by extension for the same heat flux.
