| * | Global entity | SRCC 2013 OG-300 Certification of Solar Water heating Systems | USA: Solar heating panels (2013) | 866 | kJ / day / m2 | "Energy delivered to the hot water load: Using the SRCC rating conditions, this value is 43,302 kJ/day (41,045 Btu/day)." It's unclear from the reference the area of the solar heating installation. We assume it covers 50% of a roof of our Mannahatta2409.org cell size of 10 x 10 m. Thus the solar heat production density works out to 866 kJ / day / m2 |
