This paper offers an experimental evaluation of an SR-EVTC (serpentine evacuated tube collector) system embedded with a copper annular fin and sensible heat storage liquid (SR-EVTC/SS-AF). In this study developed system was compared with the control EVTC (SR-EVTC/CS) under the same meteorological co...
