Which collects solar energy best painted or unpainted copper?


Question:
solar oven

Answer:
My guess would be painted, only because you don't want the copper reflecting the rays. You want a color that will absorb the energy, so wouldn't black be best?
painted black.
if you mean which absorbs heat, it would depend on the colour of the paint. black paint would absorb heat better than white
Bet on Black.
