Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar collector technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency solar collector. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous growth of energy demand, the energy crisis is becoming increasingly severe. Traditional fossil fuels are non-renewable and pollute the environment, making the development of new clean energy sources particularly crucial. Solar energy, as a clean and pollution-free new energy source, does not produce pollutants during its utilization, effectively reducing the risk of environmental pollution and playing a vital role in protecting the Earth's ecosystem.
[0003] Solar energy can be utilized in various ways, among which photothermal conversion technology is widely used due to its advantages such as high efficiency, economy, and strong compatibility. However, because the energy density of solar energy after reaching the Earth is relatively low and discontinuous, large-scale development and utilization of solar energy still faces challenges. For a long time, how to convert low-grade solar energy into high-grade thermal energy and enrich solar energy has been a focus of attention in solar thermal utilization and thermal power generation systems. Developing new and efficient solar collectors, especially those with high absorptivity and low emissivity, is crucial for improving the efficiency of solar energy utilization.
