Solar collectors maybe overheat in hot summer or when they are not in use. The main reason for overheating is that since the sun rises, solar collectors automatically absorb heat. But when the absorbed heat is not used up in time, the heat will accumulate, and the temperature will rise, leading to overheating and causing damage to the system.
Solar thermal collector systems have a potential risk of reaching an equilibrium or stagnation temperature higher than the maximum safe operating temperature. For optical overheating protection, various measures are taken.
Solar collectors are generally built from high temperature resistant materials because they must retain their important properties during and after exposure to high stagnation temperatures. This is necessary to prevent any damaging effects to the system.
Solar collector stagnation conditions refer to any situation under which the solar collector cannot adequately dispatch the absorbed solar heat to the heat transfer fluid. These conditions can cause damage to the system and impose constraints on collector materials.
