The average annual thermal efficiency achieved was 58%, with peak efficiencies recorded at 75% during the summer months.
Systems supplied up to 70% of households' hot water needs, cutting fossil fuel use by about 2,500 kWh each year.
Assessment of 10 residential units included varied urban conditions affecting system performance over 12 months.
Challenges noted include dust accumulation and urban heat island effects, leading to design recommendations for efficiency.
