Hi Wilvard,

SAM's Physical Trough model has parameters for the EuroTrough ET150 collector in the collector library: To use it, select the trough in the Collector Library list and then click Apply Values from Library to use the parameters for each collector type included in your design.

The heat loss parameters are on the Receivers page, and the heat loss at design calculations are shown in the Help topic for that page.

Best regards,
Paul.
