Simple materials can be used like black plastic or metal pipe. You want materials that will absorb heat and transmit that heat to the liquid.

Where would you find a solar collector?
in a place trying to collect solar energy
What materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
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.
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.
Why are solar panels black in color?
black is colour that can obsorb heat,since solar panals collect energy from the sun by heat radiation, it only makes sense to have the solar panels dark in colour.
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
What is an active solar collector?
A solar collector that has motors and a guiding system to point towards the Sun which improves efficiency. A passive collector has no such systems.
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
Why measure diffuse solar radiation?
diffuse is what will be received by flat solar panels beam is what is received by concentrating solar collector dishes, lenses, fields of mirrors PSP partial Spherical pyrometer ...diffuse NIP normal incidence Pyrometer ...beam
Another word for Incoming Solar Radiation?
incoming solar radiation = insolation
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense at noon.
What is the energy transformation of solar collector?
a solar collector turns light into heat, and uses that heat to create electricity.
