- February 28, 2024, by Jelger Jansen:
  Refactor model.
  This is for Buildings, #3604.
- December 11, 2023, by Michael Wetter:
  Corrected implementation of pressure drop calculation for the situation where the collectors are in parallel, e.g., if `sysConfig == AixLib.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Types.SystemConfiguration.Parallel`.
  Changed assignment of `computeFlowResistance` to `final` based on `dp_nominal`.
  This is for Buildings, #3597.
- September 16, 2021, by Michael Wetter:
  Changed `lat` from being a parameter to an input from weather bus.
  This is for IBPSA, #1477.
- December 17, 2017, by Michael Wetter:
  Revised computation of heat loss.
  This is for issue 1100.
- November 21, 2017, by Michael Wetter:
  Corrected error in heat loss calculations that did not scale correctly with `nPanels`.
  This is for issue 1073.
- October 18, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
  Removed duplicate connection.
- January 4, 2013, by Peter Grant:
