    Abstract

    This paper aims to establish the optimal operating parameters of a solar collector in order to perform a maximum exergy output during the collection ofsolar energy. The optimal collector operating temperature and mass flow rate of the heat transfer fluid are investigated under given solar irradiation and for a given solar collector characterized according to EN 12975-2 standards.
