Abstract—In the solar energy industry great emphasis has been placed on the development of better and efficient systems as these are utilized in the form of heat and electricity for both domestic and industry purpose. The system is integration of several sub systems namely coated solar collectors; absorbers; plates shape and size, type of coatings, and techniques of applying these coatings are major governing parameters to evaluate the performance. This paper is a proposal for a research study to analyze both theoretically and experimentally the performance of a liquid flat plate collector coated with selected Nano materials. The objectives, possible outcomes were presented along with the coating materials and their applying methods for high absorbtance and low emmitance. Index Terms—Nano materials, Solar energy, Nano coatings, Collectors, Absorbtance
