NJ 08701 USA TYPE. CERTIFICATION # Original Certification: Expiration Date: 96026C November 01,1996 December 14. 2035 This solar collector was evaluated by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in accordance with prescribed methods and was found to meet the minimum standards established by FSEC. This evaluation was based on solar collector tests performed by an. FSEC approved laboratory. The purpose of the tests is to verify initial performance conditions and quality of construction only. The resulting certification is not a guarantee of long tern performance or durability. This collector has been rated for energy output on measured performance and an assumed standard day. Total solar energy available for the standard day is 6045 Watt-hour/mZ (1600 BtuW) distributed over a 10 hour period.
