The verification of solar field performance is possible through international standards EN ISO 24194 since 2022 and using results of standard ISO 9806 from the collector testing previously. However, for concentrating solar collectors this verification is not always done by the industry, and the large-size collector efficiency are guaranteed by the contractor from different components separately or a test done in an existing facility.
