Description
Summary:The operational and thermal performance of a variety of solar systems installed in Operational Test Sites under this program is described. The analysis used is based on instrumented system data monitored and collected for at least one full season of operation. The objective of the analysis is to report the long-term field performance of the installed system and to make technical contributions to the definition of techniques and requirements for solar energy system design. The solar energy system, SIMS Prototype System 2, was designed to supply domestic hot water to single-family residences. The system consists of flat plate collectors, silicone working fluid, storage tank, pumps, heat exchanger, controls, and associated plumbing.
