Durability and reliability of solar domestic hot water heaters: Survey results. Final report, Part 1
- Arizona State Univ., Tempe, AZ (United States)
- Univ. of Nevada, Reno, NV (United States)
An unresolved barrier for consumer acceptance of SDWH systems is the perception that they are unreliable and that their service life is significantly less than that claimed by the manufacturers/dealers. A comprehensive survey was developed to identify and define the relevant durability and reliability issues that affect the long term performance of SDWH systems. The survey was directed towards installers and service contractors with significant field experience.
