Abstract

This research studies and analyzes the flat heating solar collectors, the focus solar concentrators and the parabolic cylinder concentrators in order to provide a solution to some environmental problems and the decrease of oil so as to invest operating the heating systems in Yemen. A method has been used to calculate solar heating power of meter square of effective surface, production and efficiency of usage in several zones in Yemen: Sana'a, sa'ada, Aden, Hodeida, Sayon, Ma'rib, and Rayyan. The research concludes that flat heating solar collectors, the focus solar concentrators and the parabolic cylinder concentrators have the following results: The heating power for each is 49-241W/m2, 153-792W/m2 , 350-2240. W/m2, respectively. The production solar energy stations of the above mentioned are: 1.4-9 Mj/m2, 5-30 Mj/m2 , 10-81 Mj/m2 , and the usage ratio of the productive power is 52-96% , 49-96% 45-95% . This indicates the potentiality of using these collectors and concentrators in different zones in Yemen.
