Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the response. I am not sure how to monitor if the solar system is supplying any energy to the tank. I tried to increase the size of the PVT and monitor the average temperature of the tank (heating elements off). It does not seem to have much effect as you can see.

 

Tank average temperature with PVT 6.5 sqm

Tank average temperature with PVT 13 sqm

Is this the correct way to check if the solar system is providing energy to the tank or do you suggest a different way? 

Thanks,

Hadi

Again - it looks like the solar system is not flowing any energy into
the tank.  Did you check?  I can see the collector is at 40 C but it can
be at 40 C with no flow....
