This paper presents four years of field data on the solar domestic hot water (SDWH) system located at latitude 28.4/sup 0/ in Merritt Island, Florida. Field results are presented for the solar system operating as a two-tank direct system for 9 months and as a one-tank direct system for 39 months. These results show an average savings from the solar system of 140 kWh/month. Comparisons of yearly energy saved by solar are made with field data, with FCHART calculations and with the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) collector rating. The field measurement program is continuing and will be periodically updated.
