AB  - This study presents the performance of solar collector with two type of glazing. Experimental results
show that temperature output and thermal efficiency of solar collector using Fresnel lens as glazing is better
than the use of glass. The temperature output is inversely proportional to mass flow rate, resulting in an
increase of solar collector efficiency. This study carried out the mass flow rate in a range of 0.008-0.036 kg/sec
at two different intensities, namely 576 and 755 W/m<sup>2</sup> under solar simulator. The average solar collector
efficiency using Fresnel lens as glazing were 8-11% more efficient than glass. The improvement in temperature
output and efficiency makes Fresnel lens as an alternative glazing in solar air collector applications.
