| High Efficiency Solar Thermal Collector
Challenge: | Energy | Category: | Junior | Region: | | City: | , | School: | | Abstract: | A solar thermal collector has been developed for use in residential buildings. A prototype of the solar thermal collector has demonstrated an efficiency which exceeds commercially available collectors. Furthermore, the collector is made of material already being mass produced in Canada and as such can be manufactured cost effectively, and promises to provide both an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating methods. |
