Two generically different methods/ approaches are available in the standard to determine the thermal performance of solar collectors: The Steady state method and the Quasi dynamic method, hereafter generally abbreviated SS and QDT.
For further information, see section 7.7. The overall standard uncertainty in solar collector efficiency values determined by an accredited test laboratory is about 3 %. The uncertainty in calculated energy gain is even higher and could exceed 10 % depending on the operating temperature and test method applied.
The collector is tested with four mean solar collector fluid temperature levels: 22 ̊C, 40-49 ̊C, 68 ̊C and 87-89 ̊C. During the measurement, the average ambient air temperature is 14.7 ̊C. The average wind speed at the same height of the collector panel is 1.2 m/s.
INTRODUCTION For evaluation and comparison of solar collectors, many factors need to be considered: collector thermal performance and costs, lifetime of the collectors and decrease of collector performance due to aging. The thermal performance of a solar collector is fairly easy to assess.
