A typical solar light pipe system consists of a solar collector on the roof that collects the sunlight by focusing it into a pipe with highly reflective internal surfaces. When sunlight hits on the collector, it is focused into a beam and enters the piping system through an optical device that is used to direct the light into one end of the pipe.
Types of Solar Energy Collectors: Top Options & Their Benefits Explained
However, flat-plate collectors have some limitations when compared with other types of solar energy collectors such as evacuated-tube collectors or concentrating solar power systems (CSP). For instance, they''re less efficient at capturing sunlight than other types due to their design which limits how much light can be captured from different angles …
