Factors influencing the performance of solar thermal systems

It is important to understand the factors that influence the performance of solar thermal systems as they can be an ideal way to provide extra hot water to supplement energy delivered by heat pumps or boilers.  A solar system can therefore be designed to deliver hot water reliably and meet the requirements of the household.  […]
