Defining the collector array in the design assistant

In the design assistant, first use the standard flat-plate collector from the T*SOL® ® database. In quality, this corresponds to a simple collector with a surface area of 1m². However, you can click on the collector symbol to select any collector or otherwise choose your preferred collector under Options > Default settings.

The tilt angle and orientation of the collector array are entered in the following fields. The entries for piping relate purely to the collector loop. The single length of the piping should be entered. This information is used to calculate thermal losses and hydraulic resistance of the piping.
