As we know that application of solar energy for domestic and industrial heating purposes has been become
very popular. The utilization of solar energy for heating of water is common application but efficient water heating is the
toughest because it depends on weather condition.Three main components associated with flat plate collector (FPC)
namely, absorber plate, cover plate and heating pipes.And to overcome such difficulty various modifications have been
proposed by different researchers in various fields in terms of modification in pipe shape or in terms of change in the
material of absorber plate etc. And so the objective of present work is to analyze the performance of cover plate of glass
sheet to acrylic sheet. This paper presents a study of the all researches conducted on the cover plate of solar water
heater and its efficiency in terms of temperature in recent years
