How do you test a solar collector?

Two generically different methods are allowed by the standard to determine the thermal performance characteristics of solar collectors: The Steady State method (“SS”) and the Quasi Dynamic Test method, (“QDT”). Both methods can be used when testing for Solar Keymark certification.

What are the different standards for solar thermal collector testing?

There is a number of different standards describing solar thermal collectors testing. Historically, an American ASHRAE standard (93-77) was the first to be widely used. Then the ISO 9806 series of standards was developed and from this the EN 12975.
