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 term 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 5045 Watt-hour/m' (1600 Btulfe) distributed over a 10 hour period.
