Keep it simple, cool, and cheap: these three cardinal rules emerge from five years of field experience with solar heating, cooling, and hot water installations

Article Abstract:

Secondary principles to simplicity, coolness of operating temperature, and cost economy are: concentrate on controls, minimize losses, control corrosion, provide monitoring, minimize maintenance, select collectors carefully, avoid shading, expect less than advertised, favor stratification, bypass storage, exclude auxiliary energy-storage, size carefully, accommodate losses, design for morning peak-load, err on low side, and turn heat-only units off in summer.

The solar hot water system rating test

Article Abstract:

The Solar Rating and Certification Corporation test program is used to test solar water heaters by ASHRAE Standard 95-1981. The first step is to define the type of system to measure its output correctly: solar only, solar preheat, or solar plus supplemental system.
