solar Paper details: Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed to supply the total needs for two four-person families, one living in Manchester, New Hampshire, where the latitude is 44+o north and the other in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 35+o North. The heat capacity of water is about 4200 J/kgo C and the hot water supply temperature in both houses is 60o C (140o F). State and justify all additional assumptions made.
