Solar energy system performance evaluation
M. F. Smith Associates is a single-family residence in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The home has approximately 1752 square feet of conditioned space. Solar energy is used for space heating the home and preheating domestic hot water (DHW). The solar energy system has an array of flat-plate collectors wit...

F. Smith Associates is a single-family residence in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The home has approximately 1752 square feet of conditioned space. Solar energy is used for space heating the home and preheating domestic hot water (DHW). The solar energy system has an array of flat-plate collectors with a gross area of 512 square feet. The array faces 15 degrees west of south at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. Water is the transfer medium that delivers solar energy from the collector array to storage and to the space heating and hot water loads. Solar energy is stored in a 3150-gallon concrete storage tank. City water is preheated in storage and in heat exchanger HW1, which receives energy from a coil at the output of the heat pump compressor. Preheated water is supplied, on demand, to a conventional 82-gallon DHW tank. Solar-heated water from the storage tank is directed to a heat pump or to an hydronic heat exchanger to provide space heating.
