Abstract :Flat plate collector is a device which is used to collect the sun radiation and convert it into thermal energy. The main parts of the flat plate collector insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(solar geyser); are the glazing, pipes, heat collecting absorber flat and insulating body. In this research an effective flat plate collector has been fabricated for solar geyser, which is low cost, simple design, and easier installation for heating purposes. More focus has been given to the heating loss and collecting solar radiations. Controlling the heat loss, the fluid can absorb more thermal energy which increases the efficiency. A different technique has been employed to enhance the efficiency of solar geysers. Effect of using double glazing to control the heat losses, because the temperature between glass covers and the absorber is not equal to environment. Increasing the length and reducing the diameter of the pipe improved the heat harvesting and observes more heat from absorber sheet.
