Abstract
Theoritical calculations are performed on various flat plate collectors, i.e., dull nicked plated steel, tin plated, nickel, copper and aluminum sheets, at various tilt angles for Quetta (Pakistan) and were found in good aggrement with experimental results. We used isotrophic model to calculate total solar radiations, optimizations of thermal performances of flat plate collectors both at chiect and tilt angles and indeed the statistical analysis. Absorbed energies for them flat plate collectors were determined we found that the maximum solar energy in the form of absorbed heat is intercepted at s=o/s=&-150, where S I the tilt angle and d is the latitude of Quetta (o/=18030, altitude 1799m.Aluminum sheet is found as the best receptor of solar energy as compared to other flat plate collectors.
