Solar power receivers are a specific type of heating systems that convert solar radiation into the heat capacity of the transport media. The major part of a solar-based system is a solar receiver, which collects solar energy, transforms it to the desired location, and transports that heat to a fluid passing through the collector (usually air, liquid, or oil).
