The Integrated Collector Storage (ICS) has a great application in the solar energy field such as instantaneous heating with little initial and operation cost as well as its resistance against the problems of overheating and freezing. In this research, an advanced ICS was designed and investigated with an array of 1.5 mm thickness galvanized lateral steel plate fins fixed in the storage tank. The new design was examined from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The results show an increase in mean storage temperature and collection efficiency of up to 20% and 37% respectively.
