Testing the Factores on Solar Water Heating Collectors?

I am doing a project for my college course and it involves building and testing a Solar water Heater Collector. What I need to know is what factores of the collector I could test to see whatcould be optimized for the best result? Does anyone have any ideas that could help me? I am going to have to do tests and have computer read outs for this project.

The key to solar heating is surface area and heat transfer. Colour is a no brainier. Black is going to do the best. Heat rises cols falls.

Excerpt: BiofuelBiomassGeothermalHydroelectricitySolar energyTidal powerWave powerWind power Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation, along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available renewable energy on earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used. Solar powered electrical generation relies on heat engines and photovoltaics. Solar energy’s uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.To harvest the solar energy, the most common way is to use solar panels. Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute solar energy. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors… More: http://booksllc.net/?id=27743

Active Solar Systems $92.35 Active Solar Systems is volume 6 in a series that surveys advances in solar energy research since the oil shock of the early 1970s.Active Solar Systems is volume 6 in a series that surveys advances in solar energy research since the oil shock of the early 1970s. Books in the series document in particular the period 1973 to 1985, which spawned a rich array of federally financed technological programs and developments facilitating the practical use of solar energy. The twenty-two contributions in Active Solar Systems introduce design, analysis, and control methods for active systems and cover advances in the interconnected technologies for water heating, space heating, and space cooling. They show that, with effective marketing and with environmental costs factored into individual consumer decisions, there is strong potential for solar water heating and space heating, and that solar cooling has potential but needs further development to become commercially viable. The details of the materials involved in these technologies are covered in volume 5, Solar Collectors, Energy Storage, and Materials.

Solar Heating And Cooling of Residential Buildings $67.71 This manual was prepared primarily for use in conducting a practical training course on the design of solar heating and cooling of residential buildings. The text is directed toward sizing, installation, operation, and maintenance of solar systems for space heating and hot water supply, and solar cooling is treated only briefly. The solar systems described in this manual are primarily for residential applications and one- and two-story office-type buildings. This manual was developed by the staff of the Solar Energy Applications Laboratory and vocational education specialists at Colorado State University in cooperation with the NAHB Research Foundation. A national advisory committee selected from various sectors of the home-building industry, university sources, private practice, and government, was established to provide advice and general guidance.
