Principles (cont.) Solar coverage The solar coverage rate indicates what percentage of the energy required annually for DHW applications can be covered by the solar thermal system. Designing a solar thermal system always entails finding a good com- promise between yield and solar coverage. The higher the selected solar coverage, the more conventional energy is saved.

All sizing recommended below relates to German climatic conditions and common utilisation profiles in the home. These profiles are stored in the Viessmann "ESOP" calculation program and correspond to the suggestions of VDI 6002-1 for apartment buildings. Under these prerequisites, a design output of 600 W/m is assumed for all heat exchangers.
The basis for sizing a solar thermal system for DHW heating is the DHW demand. Viessmann packs are sized for a solar coverage of approx. 60 %. The cylinder capacity must be greater than the daily DHW demand, taking the required DHW temperature into account.
