Comparative capacities of residential solar thermal systems versus F-chart model predictions and economic potential in an equatorial-latitude country

One popular simulation tool for predicting solar thermal (ST) performance is the F-chart model, which has not been validated for the conditions in equatorial-climate countries. In this work, the performance of two ST systems (evacuated tube collectors (ETCs) and flat plate collectors (FPCs), widely...
