Exploiting solar energy with collectors
The useful energy which a collector can
absorb depends on several factors. The
main factor is the total solar energy
available.
Whilst a global energy of
1
270kWh/(m
2
·pa) is available in
Freiburg, the value in Hannover is only
955kWh/(m
2
·pa).
The choice of collector type and its
inclination and orientation, are also very
important (see page7). For optimum
economy of operation, careful
dimensioning of the system components
is also essential.
