Is it necessary to overdesign a solar water heater with respect to a conventional electric water heater?

0

This depends on the country, the insolation, habits of using hot water and the operation of the electric heater or boiler. Within the context of operating on night-time electricity in areas of moderate insolation, solar water heaters must be overdesigned. Important note: the surface of the collectors must be overdesigned to prevent any early malfunction and/or ageing.
