<p class=MsoNormal>My solar thermal panels are not producing any heat or
elevated temperature. As the temperature of the water inside the panel doesn’t
exceed the ambient temperature, the pumps never start, and there is no flow. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have verified that the connections from the weather file
and the rest of the loop are correct. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I put in the specs and IAM for this panel from the SRCC data
sheet. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts on what I might be forgetting/doing wrong?<o:p></o:p></p>
