In addition, an economic analysis was performed based on the acquisition budgets and the operation of such types of collectors. The results show that the manufacturing of flat plate solar collectors has larger environmental impact, and carcinogen is the major category which causes environmental impact in both types of collector as a result of the consumption and emission of arsenic and cadmium ions. Economically, the cost of acquisition of evacuated tube solar collectors is 104.04%. Therefore, the choice for a specific kind of collector depends on the desired advantages, and a complement is required for decision-making based on the availability of economic resources.</p> </div> <p> </p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>10</month><day>20</day><year>2014</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>1100</first_page><last_page>1110</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_01386</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.001386</doi><timestamp>1714992722</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_01386</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
