Solar Technologies - Absorber

 

Likewise called a collector plate or a solar collector plate. 

A plate with a black coating used in solar collectors that actively absorbs solar energy and produces heat from it. 

The fluid (water or glycol heat transfer fluid) flowing through the copper tubes of the thermal collector receives the heat that has been collected and is then transferred to it.

The absorption-emission ratio is used to evaluate an absorber's performance. 

A selective surface coating applied to the surface of an absorber may result in a ratio of 0.90 percent absorption to 0.10 percent emission, which is within the desirable range of 10 and above.

Solar Technologies - Absorbent Glass Mat

(AGM) A fiberglass mat that holds the electrolyte in place between the battery cell plates. 

In contrast to conventional flooded batteries, which use liquid electrolyte, AGM batteries employ absorbent glass mats. Absorbent glass mat battery, for example.

Solar Technologies - Absorbed Light

 

The quantity of light that does not pass through the semiconductor material or reflect off the cell surface before being lost. 

Only the photons that are absorbed produce the charge carriers, electrons, and holes.
