This book examines the testing procedures and environmental exposures necessary to assess the reliability of solar collectors and materials. As this technology has not generally been demonstrated for periods exceeding 20 years, long-term performance evaluation requires accelerated testing methods. Developed by the author, these methods are intended to evaluate collector performance over short intervals while correlating the results with "real-time" exposure data. The conditions most likely to cause performance degradation are identified and explored. The book outlines a range of exposure environments, from laboratory simulations to outdoor exposure in differing climates, and discusses the influence of temperature, humidity, radiation, and thermal cycling on collector materials. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive framework for conducting accurate reliability and durability tests for solar collectors and their materials.
