How to Size a Solar Thermal Space Heating Collector Array
A standard flat-plate collector can provide about 700-1000 Btu per square foot per day, but colder locations will tend to the 700-800 end of that range on a cold, clear day in the heating season. Unfortunately, this goes with the territory: colder locations need bigger collector arrays to generate the same percentage of the overall heating load.
