Jignasha, One of the parameters of Type74 asks you to specify how many of the collectors there are in series. To model collectors in parallel you can just increase the collector array area. Thus if you have modules that are each 1.5m2 and you have two in parallel the total array area would be 3.0 and the number in series would be 1. If you have two in parallel and two in series then the total array area would be 6.0m2 and the number in series would be 2. You also need to be careful about how you set the flow rate input. The flow rate is assumed to be equally divided by the modules in parallel. If you add more parallel area you should increase the flow rate to the array. If you add more area in series then you should not. I would recommend that you use Type51 for the tower. kind regards, David
