OverviewHigh-temperature collectorsHistoryLow-temperature heating and coolingHeat storage for space heatingMedium-temperature collectorsHeat collection and exchangeHeat storage for electric base loadsWhere temperatures below about 95 °C (200 °F) are sufficient, as for space heating, flat-plate collectors of the nonconcentrating type are generally used. Because of the relatively high heat losses through the glazing, flat plate collectors will not reach temperatures much above 200 °C (400 °F) even when the heat transfer fluid is stagnant. Such temperatures are too low for efficient conversion
