The utilization of fossil fuels can be minimized by the application of solar energy. In this paper, the performance of Parallel-Type (PT) Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors (ETSC) using Al2O3 nanofluid was experimentally investigated. The solar collector was used during both the on-peak and off-peak pe...
