Abstract
Abstract: This paper presents the thermal performance of solar flat plate collector considering various ambient, weather and design conditions of the site under review (Benin City, Edo State). The result shows that the outlet water temperatures were dependent on the weather condition (solar radiation intensity, cloud cover) with outlet water temperature of 6and 328.36W as Energy gained of the collector obtained. This shows that the use of this flat plate solar collector will be viable for domestic heating application.
