Hello and good day,
I would like to ask about your experiences regarding heat loss.
I have 6 tube collectors on my south-facing roof. The output and the system itself are working very well. Recently, I started using the heating partially. The supply temperature of the underfloor heating is between 24-28 degrees Celsius (75-82°F), depending on the outside temperature. I don’t consider this to be very high.
On sunny days, the storage tank (for domestic hot water and underfloor heating, 1000 liters (264 gallons)) is heated up to 60 degrees Celsius (140°F). When I look at the display in the morning, the storage tank has lost over 30 degrees Celsius (54°F) of heat (not counting the domestic hot water). What are your experiences with this? Am I worrying unnecessarily, or is this quite normal?
Best regards.
P.S.: I will gladly introduce myself and complete my profile soon.

You cannot receive competent assistance unless someone knows your entire system. Do you have a single buffer tank that also produces domestic hot water, or one with a fresh water station? Or perhaps a separate small storage tank?
Does the solar thermal system also support the heating, or is it only used for hot water preparation? How is the system connected overall?
And what is your primary heat generator, and how is it configured?

Last night I changed the temperature adjustment value from the original 1.0 to -1.0. This change reduced the loss to 9.0 degrees Celsius (16°F) per night instead of about 30. Let’s see how this now affects the room temperature?This is not very helpful either if you don’t know what effect it has.
