Collector test array

 

A collector test array will be integrated in the roof of the International SolarCenter for the purpose of technically and physically evaluating and testing thermal collectors. The test array can use all domestic and foreign products and system components, such as absorbers, covering materials, construction types, and attachment techniques.

Specific areas of investigation will include the collector's degree of efficiency, the structural integration of its elements, their assembly systems and methods (on-roof assembly, integrated installation, and unattached set-up), and the hook-up of all construction parts.

This will also provide impulses for innovative developments in integrated system combinations in connection with shadowing systems, daylight components, natural ventilation systems, and roofing systems.
