Technical FAQs 4

Do solar thermal collectors need to face the Sun?

Solar thermal collectors need to face the sun to obtain maximum sunlight exposure. The installation angle should be equal to or up to 15 o higher than the latitude of the location. This angle ensures optimal heat output throughout the year.

What is a solar collector?

Solar Collectors[LINK] Solar collectors are devices that convert solar energy into thermal energy by raising the temperature of a circulating heat transfer fluid. The fluid can then be used to heat water for domestic hot water usage or space heating.

How do I choose the best solar system location?

The 1st task is finding the best location for your collectors. This means finding an unobstructed view to the south. A perfect view is not mandatory, and the solar system will still work fine, but the better the south view the greater the performance.

What are the different types of solar collectors?

The fluid can then be used to heat water for domestic hot water usage or space heating. Flat-plate solar collectors using water as the heat transfer fluid, Integral-Collector Storage solar collectors using water and unglazed transpired solar collectors using air are currently the only types of collector available in EnergyPlus.
