Two generically different methods are allowed by the standard to determine the thermal performance characteristics of solar collectors: The Steady State method (“SS”) and the Quasi Dynamic Test method, (“QDT”). Both methods can be used when testing for Solar Keymark certification.
The Laboratories for Solar Energy Technology deal with fundamental as well as current questions of solar energy technology, especially in the areas of solar heating and cooling, solar collectors and photovoltaic applications.
There is a number of different standards describing solar thermal collectors testing. Historically, an American ASHRAE standard (93-77) was the first to be widely used. Then the ISO 9806 series of standards was developed and from this the EN 12975.
The thermal energy from the solar collector could be used in space heating, water heating, and steam generation or stored in thermal storage for later use. The solar thermal collector can be classified according to the fluid type: liquid heating type and air heating type.
A solar collector is a heat exchanging device used to convert solar energy absorbed from incident solar radiation to thermal energy (Tripanagnostopoulos, 2012).

Solar thermal collectors can be divided into four categories as per their applicability in the range of temperatures: (i) Flat plate collectors (FPCs), (ii) Evacuated tube collectors (ETCs), (iii) Concentrating collectors, (iv) Hybrid (combination of two technological advancements) collectors .
