Abstract

Integrated collector/storage solar water heaters, due to their simple compact structure and inherent freeze protection, offer a promising approach for solar water heating in colder climates. Such a system, designed specifically for application at a Northern latitude, has been developed incorporating a heat retaining storage vessel mounted within a concentrating cusp reflector supported by a novel exo-skeleton framework. The performance was determined experimentally under real operational conditions in the Northern Irish climate. A detailed cost analysis is presented and payback periods, substituting different local fuel/power sources, determined.
