摘要：

In this paper, we compare the thermal performances of plastic cover and glass cover air collectors of the same dimensions under identical conditions of insolation and air how rate. A simple expression taking into account the initial investment, the annual interest rate and the amount of energy which can be extracted from the collector is also developed to evaluate the cost of the energy produced by these collectors as a function of their lifetime. The result from this techno-economic analysis is that the use of a plastic cover collector is recommended whenever the cost of the collector is an important factor in the solar application considered.
