A solar collector is a type of heat exchanger, which converts sun rays/radiation into a useful form of energy/internal energy of the circulating medium/fluid . Solar collector technologies are classified into three categories based on their usage.
Few studies reviewed the use of different solar collectors for industrial applications. FPCs and ETCs total thermal energy demand for different textile industry processes is estimated to be around 8.3 × 10 7 GJ/year.
The government incentives have also contributed to the curtailment of solar energy, as many of the solar projects have been built in northern and western regions of China where there is a low demand for electricity and a lack of infrastructure to transfer energy towards China's main power grid.
By large, solar collectors for water heating have been successful for domestic applications in several parts of the world. The research could be focused on extending CSP applications, particularly for electricity generation, to reduce grids' dependency.
Solar collectors used in various applications have never been cheaper and efficient than now. Although China has installed a significant number of solar heaters, it is not uncommon to see large installations in many other countries worldwide.
As such, critics argue that investments into renewable energy sources such as solar power are means to increase the power of the central state rather than protect the environment. This argument has been complemented by China's expansion of fossil fuel plants in conjunction with solar energy.
