Solar Hot Water Monitoring with a U30 Data Logger

The Challenge:
Solar Hot Water System's efficiency Analysis


A multi-channel data logger is a simple, easily deployed means of verifying a solar hot water system's performance. Key outdoor and indoor measurements, such as solar radiation, air, and tank temperatures, and even water flow can be recorded over long periods of time to provide data useful for system efficiency analysis.

*Onset recommends the Minol Water Flow Meter Sensor for this application. If you also need to measure BTUs simultaneously Onset recommends the Metrima SVM F2 flow meter.
