Thermal projects are gaining popularity in the solar energy research community owing to their substantial energy storage density and efficiency in converting energy. Solar thermal collectors are technologies made to capture solar radiation and convert it into thermal energy. Solar collectors and storage mechanisms for thermal energy are the two main aspects in the aforementioned uses. Static solar thermal collectors use basic design concepts to efficiently collect, store, and transport solar heat in order to harvest solar energy. This research paper focuses on the most recent advancements and achievements in solar thermal utilisation, covering an assessment of solar collectors and thermal energy-storing systems. Thermal scenarios and the production of electricity from radiation from the sun are quickly evolving as the globe seeks future energy sources other than conventional ones. Solar thermal collectors are one of the most basic requirements for converting the solar energy into usable forms.
Key words: photoelectrochemical systems / solar tracker / zenith angle / axial motion / azimuth angle / tracking mechanism
