Based on the experimentally observed linear relationship between the daily collected energy and the daily insolation, the development of a test method for the performance rating of solar water heaters is studied using both an analytical modeling of the daily performance and detailed simulation. This analysis has shown the existence of a general linear correlation between daily performance and external conditions (daily irradiation, ambient temperature, main’s water temperature, and storage initial temperature). Two approaches appeared possible for the long-term performance estimate and, for its simplicity, the statistical one was chosen for the definition of the European test method for solar water heaters, also known as the input-output test method.

Long-term performance estimations were performed on a nonstandard domestic solar water heating system by f-Chart, interactive F-Chart software, and φ¯,f-Chart methods. Results of estimations were compared to gain insight of their applicability. Results from F-Chart software and f-Chart agree well and are greater than those from the φ¯,f-Chart method. Energy dumping should be given thorough reconsideration for the refinement of f-Chart and F-Chart software.
