| Abstract: | This paper summarises one of the four final report titles published under CEC contract NO ES-A-P-009-UK(N), “Performance Monitoring of Solar Heating Systems in Dwellings (Part II)”. The report described here contains measured monthly performance data from monitored solar water heating projects located in member countries of the European Community. Reported performance figures range from 400 to 1,200 MJm? 2 p.a. (100 to 300 kWh/m2 p.a.), which represents 10 to 30% of global radiation incident on the collectors. It is suggested that an annual performance of 1,000 to 1,400 MJm? 2 p.a. is realistic as a performance target for better optimised systems. |
