Question:

Consider an idealized flat-plate solar collector. Assume that there are no heat losses to conduction or convection. Assume that the insolation is 1000 W/m2 incident at an angle of 45◦ from the vertical. Compute the temperature of the black body in radiative equilibrium assuming that 

(a) The collector is horizontal,
(b) The collector is tilted at 35◦ towards the Sun.
