Product Description
This report covers the first stage of solar water heating (SWH) project, comprising inspections of a number of SWH installations and monitoring equipment installation at the same houses.
Thirty-six installations in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington were visited. At each installation, the system was evaluated using the inspection protocol presented in Appendix 1.
