In this communication, a detailed theoretical performance and economic analysis of conventional solar air heaters with bare plate, single cover and double cover have been reported. Evaluation of the annual cost ( AC ) and the annual energy gain ( AEG ) of the collectors has been performed and the ratio AC/AEG is displayed for different combined values of m, L and Z to make it feasible for the users to select optimum design and operational features which correspond to minimum AC/AEG .
