Apstrakt

Parabolični solarni kolektori sa žlebom (PTC) pojavili su se kao isplativo i održivo rešenje za proizvodnju solarne energije [1]. Iako se prvenstveno koriste u elektranama, PTC imaju primenu i u domaćinstvima, na primer za zagrevanje sanitarne vode. Tipično su orijentisani duž ose sever–jug, ali su moguće i konfiguracije istok–zapad [1], kao i druge orijentacije, iako ređe. Uzdužna osa može biti postavljena horizontalno ili nagnuta u odnosu na horizontalnu ravan.
