This paper represents the comparison and the validation of results obtained from the simulation, towards the measurements performed in a forced-circulation solar water heating system equipped with flat-plate solar collectors. Polysun tool is used to model and to simulate the considered system during an annual time period. Mathematical models are used to calculate the required sensible heat, thermal yield from the flat-plate collector area, delivered energy to the thermal consumer, efficiency of the collector area, efficiency of the system, and the solar fraction. To validate the model, experimental data recorded in time intervals of 5-minutes in a trial installation are utilized. Statistical test errors (epsilon, MBE, MPE, RMSE, and R^2) are used to compare the values obtained from the simulation and measurements. Between them, a very good fit is noticed.

Using numerical simulation to study solar water heating system it will be fast to obtain data and have a reasonable conditional statistical forecast. In this paper, based on the numerical model of an actual forced circulation solar water heating system, the whole year thermodynamic performance in a forced circulation solar water heating system are simulated and studied. It is shown that the efficiency of energy utilization and the heat loss of collectors in the system are closely related with the out door temperature and main efforts should be on the collectors.
