ICC-SRCC to offer Canadian performance ratings for solar system certification

The Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (ICC-SRCC) has added Canadian performance ratings to over 600 of its solar water heating system certifications.

The Canadian One-Day Performance Ratings are based on the safety requirements and other conditions established by the CAN/CSA F379 standard for packaged solar domestic hot water systems.

Ratings will be available from ICC-SRCC for all other system types through the solar water heating system program.

ICC-SRCC released the ratings in partnership with NRCan. The rating values can be used in NRCan energy simulation tools for low-rise residential buildings along with details on construction, site and climate. www.solar-rating.org
