Resumo
This study analyzes different configurations of solar water heating systems scenarios, varying the number of thermal reservoirs for the same total volume of the system. Satisfying the same standard of hot water consumption, under same climatic conditions, the usage of multiple thermal reservoirs shows optimized contribution of solar energy to the system and consequently minimized consumption of electric auxiliary energy.
