This work presents the development of an automated system for performance analysis of solar collector plan. Concerns to the design and implementation of units of heating and cooling liquid, which provide the adjustments of circulating liquid temperature. Describes how the mass flow rate of the system is controlled by a frequency converter and pulleys that operate on a motor-pump coupling. Shows a graphical interface designed to indicate in real time: the values of the temperature of fluid flowing through the mass flow rate, the ambient air temperature, the state of solid state relays and values of solar radiation incident on solar collector. Explains how the solid state relays enable the units of heating and cooling liquid. Describes the design of electronic circuits for signal conditioning, which are responsible for the compatibility of the signals from the sensors of the system modules for A/D and D/A converters with a resolution of 12 bits. Describes how the values sampled by the A/D and D/A converters were recorded electronically and used in calculations for determining the performance of solar collectors, according to ABNT NBR-10184/1988. To confirm the functionality of the system, was evaluated a solar collector and the parameters of the resulting characteristic curve were 0.61 for FR(τα) and 6.64 W/m2 °C for FR(UL), indicating a typical solar collector behavior with aluminium absorption surface and glass coverage, traded in the Brazilian market.
