[TRNSYS-users] type71 - parallel use

[Jeff Thornton]

<I'm using type 71 for a solar hot water plan of 100m².
In the project, there are 50 collectors connected in parallel, each one
has an array of 2m² .
My question is weather I have to set the "collector area" to 100m² and
the "number in series" to 1 or I need to model each solar panel with a
proper 2 m²-component ?>

Set the total area to 100 m2 and the number in series to 1 as you proposed.
