  • This report contains outdoor test methods for measuring the peak optical efficiency, incident angle modifier and heat losses of a single parabolic-trough collector unit. The methodology proposed has been tested in the test facilities available at the Plataforma Solar de Almería for qualification of complete collectors and single components of parabolic troughs.
