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.

The energy and the economic estimation for a passive solar water heating system under the Tirana climate conditions is performed. The trial system includes a heat pipe evacuated tube collector. To fulfil these objectives, measured values recorded every minute from the data logger of the system are used. The studied solar collector has a slope of 45° and is oriented 10° East from the South direction. The heat pipe evacuated tube collector has an aperture area of 1.476 m2. For an annual time period the irradiation on tilted solar collector area, the extracted energy from the storage tank, the delivered energy to the thermal consumer and the system efficiency were defined. Also, the economic assessment of the system is performed.
