What if the black coated surface is not black anymore, what will happened to the solar collector?
The reason behind the black coating of the solar collector is that black color absorve more sun light than any other colour. Black coating help the solar collector not reflects back the light to the atmosphere. So if the black coating will removed than its efficiency of absorbing the sun light will decrease drastically because the relativity of the surface increase in absence of the black coating . Some most common black coating used are black enamel paint.
So it's affects the efficiency of the Sun light absorption.
Absorber plate is usually coated in black surface that water flows through.

A flat plate collector mounted on plane surface operates with efficiency of 40% it installed at a location 45◦ N, the time is 10:00 am, April 1, 2019. When the collector faces the sun directly it delivers 870 W to the water, how much power will deliver if the surface is set at an elevation of 25◦ and facing east? You can assume that the conversion efficiency from solar power to power absorbed by the fluid remains constant, what changes...

An unglazed flat plate solar water heater is orientated perpendicular to the sun such that the incident radiation reaching the plate is 1100 W/m2. The plate has a semi selective coating such that the plate absorptivity and emissivity is equal to unity for all wavelengths up to 2µm, and 0.13 for all λ > 2µm. Coolant flowing in the collector tubes removes heat at such a rate as to maintain the plate temperature at 80°C. Considering the sun to be...
