Hi all,
My small space heating project at the cabin involves three X 20 Tube hot water panels which will heat a small 10 gallon electric hot water tank with a 1500 watt element for backup/assistance (Generator).
From the tank, I have 2 wall radiators to dissipate heat into the room. This system augments an electric baseboard system and should help cut electricity costs.
The combined BTU/hr rating of the H2O solar array is 7000 (on a nice sunny day).
What is the rule of thumb when deciding whether to pipe the H2O panels in Series or Parallel ?
(or does it even matter with a system this small???)
Thanks
