Abstract

A method of determining the cost benefits of a flat-plate solar-energy collector system used for domestic hot-water preheat is reported. Because the method obviates the need for a non-solar heated control comparison and does not call for any temperature logging within the system it is ideally suited to existing installations. The method relies on a statistical analysis of readily-available data and has been applied to assess the savings made in a number of flats within an Edinburgh tenement block. Several different combinations of data inputs may be used with varying degrees of reliability in the results.
