Description
Summary:The Saddle Hill Trust Lot 73 site is a single family residence in Medway, Massachusetts. The solar energy system is designed to supply 54% of the 18.70 million BTU hot water load. It is equipped with 45 square feet of solar collection area, an 80-gallon preheat storage tank, and a gas-fired, 40-gallon auxiliary domestic hot water tank. Problems with the data communication system and with a pyranometer are reported. Data are given describing the overall system performance energy savings, and solar energy utilization. Performance data are given for the collector, storage, and domestic hot water subsystems, as are the system operating energy and site weather conditions. Performance evalation techniques and sensor technology are briefly described. (LEW)
