The solar collectors belong to the most widespread renewable energy production tools. Still, the following problem has been faced when using these collectors in temperate climatic zone – insufficient heat production during autumn-winter-spring season and excessive heat generation in summer time. However, this problem could be solved through utilization of multi-layered collector with automatic management which ensures liquid flow channeling to layers with different heat absorption and emission parameters.
