How do solar reflectors improve the efficiency of solar collectors?
Wiki User

A solar reflector directs more sunlight into the solar collector. The more solar energy that is directed to the solar panel, the more electrical energy that is generated.

What are the main reflectors of solar energy?
Clouds are the main reflectors of solar energy.
Why is concave mirror useful as solar reflectors?
If the mirror converges, the light produced will be strong. This means they will be useful as solar reflectors.
What is the purpose of solar collectors?
Solar collectors gather the energy from sunlight and convert it to electricity.
Solar collectors are parts of a?
passive solar heating system
Why are reflectors and mirrors used in solar cookers?
Mirrors are used to focus the heat on a central area where the food is.

Why don't people use solar energy?
Solar power is becoming more popular, but scientists are trying to improve the overall efficiency of the technology.
What are the benefits of using solar collectors?
Well, solar collectors are safe for the world. Plus they save you money on bills!!:} solar collectors-solar panels

Parameters of site selection for solar power plant?
Reach energy cost reduction goals and improve utility efficiency.
What energy can be captured in thermal collectors or photovoltaic collectors?
solar power and solar system
What is the purpose of solar collectors?
Solar collectors gather the energy from sunlight and convert it to electricity.
How strong is solar power?
That depends on total collection area and the collector efficiency. If you could pave many square miles with high efficiency collectors you would have a very "strong" solar power system. If you only have a single 4 inch diameter solar cell it might not be able to power more than one flashlight bulb.
Does the size of a solar oven effect the heat?
Yes, the larger the surface area of the solar collectors (either focused reflectors or concentrating lenses), the more solar energy is put into the oven. Same thing for a magnifying glass in the hot sun -- the larger the magnifying glass, the hotter the focused spot of sunlight will be. However, if you are talking about the size of the oven itself (for example an oven that can cook one dish compared an oven for 100 loaves of bread), then clearly the larger the oven, the more energy you need to heat it. So the larger the oven part itself, the lower the heat for the same size reflectors. But usually large ovens have large solar collectors for this reason.
