Abstract

The influence of annual climate variations on the performance of solar thermal collectors in the northern part of Europe has been investigated. The annual solar collector energy output has been calculated with the MINSUN simulation program using hourly, measured climatic data for the years 1983–98 for three cities situated in the south (Lund), central (Stockholm) and north (Luleå) of Sweden. A synthetic year created with the Meteonorm weather simulation program was also used in the simulations. Two solar thermal collectors were modelled: a flat plate solar collector and a tubular vacuum collector, both of commercial standard.
