Abstract: Experimental tests have been conducted following the recommended CSTG guidelines in outdoor conditions, in order to evaluate a thermosiphon Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) system. This thermosiphonic solar system tested represents a good sample of various characteristics for SDHW systems manufactured by the Algerian industry. Heating of water utilising solar energy is a well-known and established technology in many parts of Algeria. With increasing number of solar heating systems on the market, a need was felt to adopt a standard testing and rating procedure for them. The introduction of test procedures should provide an equitable basis for competition amongst manufacturers and an essential criterion for design and selection of the equipment.
