In the present work, a method is proposed for the testing and evaluation of the performance of combined solar thermal heat pump hot water systems. The method is based on the Dynamic System Testing (DST) method for solar thermal systems. The evaluation of the system performance requires the...

The purpose of this work is to present a comparison between two standardized test methods for the evaluation of the energy performance of Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) systems. The approaches investigated concern the Dynamic method (DST) and the Input–Output method (CSTG). These methods have...
