[TRNSYS-users] Hot water temperature range

[Jeff Thornton via TRNSYS-users]

Althur, 

The temperature range that is practical depends on your solar
technology. Un-glazed flat plates won't work, glazed flat plates may
work, evacuated tubes might work and concentrators will very likely
work. You should find the efficiency equation for the type of collector
that you are considering and see what that collector does at 100 C.

Initially i thought it is ok to set hot water temperature range to be 110 to 100 oC at generator inlet and outlet, respectively, meaning 100oC flows into solar collector and , at least, 110oC needs to be produced out of it. Is the temperature range i chose unpractical ? not sure if most of the times heat would lost as water flows through the collector instead of getting heat.
