In this note an analysis of an inverted flat plate solar collector has been presented. Effect of various parameters, namely thickness of the insulation, air conductance between flowing water and top of the bottom insulation, length of the collector and flow velocity of water on the performance of the collector have been studied. Numerical calculations have been made for typical cold day in Delhi, namely 26 January 1980.
