Ano<strong>the</strong>r factor associated with <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal performance <strong>of</strong> <strong>solar</strong> panels is <strong>the</strong> heat loss to<br />

ambient air caused by convection, conduction <strong>and</strong> infrared <strong>radiation</strong>. This disadvantageous<br />

effect can be characterized by a1 <strong>and</strong> a2 loss coefficients in efficiency Eq. (1.11).<br />

VITOSOL 300-T SP3, assumed in simulations, is specified by a1 = 0.9156 W/m 2 K <strong>and</strong> a2 =<br />

0.003 W/m 2 K 2 . The lowest value <strong>of</strong> performance variables a1 <strong>and</strong> a2, as in <strong>the</strong> current case,<br />

leads to <strong>the</strong> higher efficiency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> DHW system. Fluctuation in a heat loss <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>solar</strong><br />

panels, presented in Fig. 3.47, strongly depends on ambient air temperature <strong>and</strong> lasts for<br />

over half a year.<br />
