[TRNSYS-users] type 536 linear parabolic concentrator



Dear Trnsys users,
 
I am using type 536 (linear parabolic concentrator) and I have a simple question:
 
How do I calculate the total surface of solar field? Is it simply:
 
"Number of collectors in series"x"Number of collectors in parallel"x"Aperture area"?
 
I ask because it always seems like I need an awfully large surface if this is the equation I need.
 
Please advise.
 
Best regards,
 
Daniel Pons
