To collect the most sunlight. The angle relates to the angle the sunlight comes into your area. Aiming it directly at the sun all day would maximize solar collection.

Gathers radiant energy and turns it into heat?
Solar water heaters do this, They can be simple affairs mounted on a house roof, or on a larger scale mirrors can be used to capture radiation and focus it on a heat absorber.
What changes solar energy to electrical energy?
Mainly the solar panels. They are designed to use solar energy
How is a solar collector related to solar energy?
A solar collector, or solar panel is what collects solar energy. The energy that is generated by the solar collector is then routed to either a battery or an inverter that converts the energy to AC voltage.
What does solar cell has to do with solar energy?
solar means the sun and we use solar cells to convert into energy which gives you electricity.
What is the difference between solar furnace and solar cells?
solar furnace is real fire. solar cells are little fires.
Why do you blacken the outer surface of a solar cooker?
It is because black colour is a good absorber of heat
Five solar plate project or experiment?
I make the solar plate and find witch type of componente of detales I make the solar plate and find witch type of componente of detales
What is a solar cooker made of?
A solar box cooks because the interior of the box is heated by the energy of the sun. Sunlight, both direct and reflected, enters the solar box through the glass or plastic top. It turns to heat energy when it is absorbed by the dark absorber plate and cooking pots. This heat input causes the temperature inside of the solar box cooker to rise until the heat loss of the cooker is equal to the solar heat gain. Temperatures sufficient for cooking food and pasteurizing water are easily achieved.
What are the materials used for absorbing solar energy?
Any good absorber or conductor of short wave radiation like air, black substances etc. absorbs solar radiation finely as the sun emits short waves in the form of solar radiation.
What is Jupiter's axis tilt?
Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.
What are the things in the cooker called?
A solar box cooks because the interior of the box is heated by the energy of the sun. Sunlight, both direct and reflected, enters the solar box through the glass or plastic top. It turns to heat energy when it is absorbed by the dark absorber plate and cooking pots. This heat input causes the temperature inside of the solar box cooker to rise until the heat loss of the cooker is equal to the solar heat gain. Temperatures sufficient for cooking food and pasteurizing water are easily achieved.
What are some planets in the solar system that have plate tectonics?
earth
What has the author Philip Ralph Dolley written?
Philip Ralph Dolley has written: 'Accelerated ageing and durability assessment of spectrally selective solar absorber surfaces'
Did solar water-heater function as planned?
The plans for several types of solar water heating systems, It calculates what you are spending on heating water as a function of water .Only mystery is how did he bond the copper pipes to the corrugated metal absorber?
Why is it that generally the leaves of plants is color green?
Because plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize energy from solar radiation and chlorophyll is a bad absorber of light's green wavelengths.
How do you capture solar energy?
Solar energy is captured in a flat metal plate or solar cells installed in your roof of your house.
Why are carbon dioxide and water vapor called selective absorbers?
Any object that can specifically absorb and emit radiation (in the form of, say, infrared radiation), is called a selective absorbers. An example is: Snow. It is a good absorber of infrared radiation but poor absorber of sunligh. Object that selectively absorb radiation at some wavelength tend to radiate radiation at that same wavelength. CO2 and water vapors are both very good absorber of infrared radiation but at the same time poor absorber of different forms of solar radiation that are visible to us.
