A recently established programme of solar thermal energy research at the Mangosuthu Technikon has benefited from the development of an outdoor test facility. STARlab provides a secure and productive environment for conducting equipment tests. A brief description of the facility’s development is given together with its impact on various solar thermal projects, including the characterisation of a solar collector’s performance.Downloads
