Florida Solar Energy Center Ratings

The Solar Dynamics Hot Water System was independently tested by the Florida Solar Energy Center

This solar collector was evaluated by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in accordance with prescribed methods and was found to meet the minimum standards established by FSEC. This evaluation was based on solar collector tests performed by an FSEC approved laboratory. The purpose of the tests is to verify initial performance conditions and quality of construction only. The resulting certification is not a guarantee of long-term performance or durability.

A performance test was conducted outdoors in accordance with the FSEC standard 105 solar thermal and component test protocols. The data was used to develop a TRNSYS model for the system. The model was then used to calculate the performance under a set of standard weather conditions and loads.

Total solar energy available for the standard day is 5045 Watt-hour/m2 (1600 Btu/ft2) of solar energy, a 220C (71.60 F) air and water temperature and a 11.75 kilowatt hour (40120 Btu) load.
