Hi Solar Hot Water Wrenches -
Does anyone have experience or references to the results of over sizing solar hot water storage tanks? We've been approached on several instances to add additional storage (beyond the normal 1 to 2 gallons/ft^2 of collector size) to help bump up the solar fraction. I can imagine that a grossly oversized storage tank could just simply never get very warm or that the standby losses would be excessively large but I'm looking for some more specific data and information. Any info or opinions would help. Thanks, August August Goers Luminalt Energy Corporation O: 415.564.7652 M: 415.559.1525 F: 650.244.9167 www.luminalt.com <http://www.luminalt.com/> aug...@luminalt.com
