FSEC is currrently in the process of transitioning to new solar thermal standards. Until that process is is completed, the following two documents are being used.

Operation of the Collector Certification Program
FSEC-GP-6-80

Test Methods & Minimum Standards for Certifying Solar Collectors FSEC-GP-5-80

---

The new solar thermal standards outlined below will represent a substantial enhancement of the existing Florida solar thermal
standards, which incorporates many of the minimum requirements
of national and international solar thermal standards into FSEC's
Standards.Click here to see a summary of major revisions.

FSEC Fees

By Florida Statute, FSEC is required to set fees that recover the costs of the testing, certification and rating services required for solar equipment and systems in Florida. Click here to view fee structure [41KB, Adobe Acrobat PDF].
