SIZING & ORIENTATION:
The vast majority of Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) systems are comprised of “Medium
Temperature” solar collectors manufactured using tempered glass and some type of metal absorber plate. They differ
from “Low Temperature” systems predominantly utilized in swimming pool heating applications. These systems are
typically manufactured using plastic resins. “High Temperature” systems are utilized to generate steam for industrial
applications. Solene collectors belong to the “Medium Temperature” category.
Normally, only one or two Solene collectors are needed for a SDHW system. The number of collectors is determined not
only by the amount of water that is needed, but also by the latitude of the installation and the collector’s orientation.
The following table details Solene’s recommended minimum system sizing guide for a typical installation:
