For accurate spectral diagnostics in the solar transition region, we discuss the electron energies for non-Maxwellian distributions both for and Druyvesteyn distributions. We analyze the difference between the κ and the Druyvesteyn distributions with the Maxwellian distribution and derive the expressions for the averaged collision strengths for the κ and the Druyvesteyn distributions. This discussion will be significant for spectral diagnostics of the electron density and temperature in the solar transition region.
